From Politico,
Democrats in South Carolina are barely pretending they’re not already running for president:
A whole lot of 2028 Democratic hopefuls seem to be visiting the state.
We aren’t even six months into the current Presidential term, meaning the 2028 election is some 3 1/2 years from now. I don’t ever remember it being this bad before.
Wikipedia tells me that Joe Biden didn’t officially announce his 2020 run until April 2019. It was Biden’s win in South Carolina that turned around his fortunes in 2020. Politico continues,
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear drew a standing ovation from Georgetown County Democrats Thursday night, after he shook hands and grinned for photos. California Gov. Gavin Newsom packed standing-room-only crowds into a two-day rural county tour of the state last week.
There are very few certainties in this world. I am certain that Andy Beshear will never be President of the United States.
Next up in the adjacent swing state,
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker will deliver the keynote address at North Carolina’s state party unity dinner on July 26.
Make it stop.
