[Bettie]

1. So, our excellent VP isn't even

worth putting on the list? SMH.

[calguy]

3. I believe the OP asks which 'Governor'

[nkpolitics1212]

4. If Kamala Harris ends up being the 2028 Democratic Presidential. Nominee.

She will pick the Beshear-KY or Shapiro-PA.
Can Beshear deliver OH and IA to Harris?

[Polybius]

20. Nope

Harris would not have an Electoral victory.

[ForgedCrank]

23. I may

agree on your assessment of her performance, but we have to work around the entire voting pool. Harris simply could not draw the numbers required, at least as things stand today.
The reasons could be explained by something as simple as the fact that the VP role itself in any administration never really gets any press or attention. Regardless of the reasons, I don't believe she could carry carry enough support to ever pull off a primary victory.

2. All good

With Newsome and Whitmer topping the list

[lamp_shade]

5. Shapiro

[Butterflylady]

15. That's my reply also.

6. I couldn't care less, lets worry about 2024 first. nt

[dem4decades]

29. If the Republicans win 2024, 2028 is moot.

There will be no more democracy.

[Lovie777]

7. Kentucky Governor, Andy Beshear as VP...................

Kamala Harris as President.

[Clash City Rocker]

8. Who's the most progressive, or the most electable?

Because Newsom, for one, would probably be judged too liberal by most independents.

[dutch777]

13. I agree that Newsom would be a tough sell on national stage. Whitmer/Shapiro would be a good combo.

I don't know where Kamala will figure in. I like her and think she would be a good President but seems to have negatives that I don't hear verbalized but seem real to many. I think for certain people, including maybe more Dems than we would like to admit, voting for a woman or anyone of color is still a reach they won't make.

22. He's actually putting in a lot of work behind the scenes

Appearing on right wing venues and platforms, talking directly to magaloons.

A couple of influential right wingers have made positive comments about him as well. Can't remember which ones but they were pretty substantial if I recall correctly.

[RainWalker]

9. I have 2

Jared Polis, Governor of Colorado.

Michelle Lujan Grisham, Governor of New Mexico. She's a rising superstar and I really like her a lot. She's flying under the radar but won't be for long.

[Autumn]

10. My Governor. Jared Polis.

[brooklynite]

11. None of them. There's no candidate who's "perfect"

They'll all have to show their abilities and limitations in the Primary process.

[Emile]

12. How many more opening posts are you going ask this

same question? I don't get it.

[comradebillyboy]

14. Andy Beshear deserves a look after getting

reelected in ruby red Kentucky. A governor with real crossover appeal.

[pinkstarburst]

16. I'm most interested in Newsom and Buttigieg

Being a governor (or a former vice president) is not the most important factor for me.

[peggysue2]

17. We have a solid bench of candidates for 2028, but . . .

All attention needs to be on 2024 bc if we don't protect the Oval Office from Agent Orange and his minions there will be no more elections, no more country. At least not one we recognize.

[obamanut2012]

18. Gavin

[Polybius]

19. Gavin as President

He a Cali liberal, so he has to nominate a moderate, and I've got the perfect person for that: Andy Beshear of Kentucky. Winning ticket. You're welcome.

[CincyDem]

26. Moreover, he's a California resident, as is Harris I believe. POTUS and VP have to be residents of different states. n/t

[Polybius]

28. True, but a Newsom/Harris wouldn't happen anyway

I don't think Harris will be anywhere near the nominee in 2028 though.

[ecstatic]

21. The only two with charisma

Are Moore and Newsom.

Let me rephrase, the only two with charisma that works on the East Coast.

Just my opinion.

[DavidDvorkin]

24. If Harris is the candidate for president, then Newsom can't be the candidate for v.p.

25. It is amazing to me that Gov Cooper of NC isn't ever on these lists

Cooper has won every race he has been in, won twice while Trump was carrying NC on the top of the ballot. He beat an incumbent Governor in 2016 again with Trump on the ballot. He isn't Mr. Charisma to be fair but he is a competent adminstrator who wins elections.

[Bayard]

27. Gov. Andy Beshear of KY
