Showing Original Post only (View all)Medhi Hasan " Should Jon Stewart Run for President in 2028? [View all]
I was skeptical about a Stewart candidacy, but maybe The Daily Show host is the right person to shake up the Democratic presidential primaries.
Democratic Party voters seem open to the idea of a Stewart presidential bid, too. Remarkably, in a poll in April, The Daily Show host was tied with Gretchen Whitmer, JB Pritzker, and Josh Shapiro and ahead of Andy Beshear all sitting Democratic governors who have been touted as possible presidential heavyweights come 2028. Imagine what those polls will start to look like if Stewart formally declares for 2028, or even announces one of those exploratory committees.

I thought the Both Sides people wanted someone young. Both Sides Boomer doesn't seem ... inspirational.
