The political maneuver for the design of the rules for the area code of the Democratic President in 2028 is underway. It should be assumed that it is too early to think about 2028, especially if the Democrats can withdraw all or part of the congress in 2026.
If the Democrats return to power in the congress, Trump will be the tamed lame ducks, and attention will quickly shift to 2028. If the president's earlier primary cycles have a note, the first democratic primary debate will take place by summer 2027 and the first primary competitions will take place in early 2028.
Senator Bernie Sanders and some of the democratic colleagues Disocratic Senate do not waste time to jump the rules for 2028.
In a letter to the democratic chairman of the Senate, Chuck Schumer and the DNC chairman Ken Martin, Sanders, Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Ma), Chris Murphy (D-CT), Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Peter Welch (D-VT), Tina Smith (D-MN), Ed Markey (D-Ma) and Chris van Hollen (D-VT), wrote Tina Smith (D-MN), wrote brandy (D-Ma) and Chris van Hollen (D-VT) and Chris van Hollens (D-VT):
We cannot allow billions and powerful company interests to continue to undermine democracy by injecting unlimited amounts of money into the political process.
As you know, the decision of the Supreme Court of 2010 about Citizens United against the Federal Election Commission was a disaster for our country. As Senator Schumer explained correctly, “it is probably more important than any other thing we could do to preserve this large and large democracy.” The chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Martin, has also condemned the influence of the dark money on democratic primaries and explains that he will “get a solution, and I will urge our party to develop solutions so that we can actually recognize our candidates and campaigns that we have to live our values.”
We support the legislation on the comprehensive reform of campaign financing in order to eliminate the corrosive influence of money in our elections, including the abolition of Citizens United's decision.
But we don't have to wait by then. There are measures that we can now take to get billionaires Super Pacs and dark money out of democratic primary elections. In the latest election cycles, right billionaires have spent hundreds of million dollars financing super-PACs to dominate in our primary elections.
In addition to interventions in democratic primary elections, it is not uncommon for the same super pacs and dark money groups to finance general election campaigns in which they work overtime to defeat Democrats. The result: You have defeated a number of excellent members in the house and in the Senate. This is unacceptable.
Getting Super Pac money and dark money out of democratic primary selection is not a cake in the sky street. The Democratic Party in Arizona has recently taken steps to exclude Super PAC money from the primary elections by saying a resolution that committed itself to “ensuring as far as possible that candidates do not benefit from external or independent election expenditure in democratic prim.
We ask our national democratic party to do the same. Before our party can claim to deal with the reform of campaign financing, we have to take measures to keep the Super PACs financed by billionaires from checking democratic primary elections. The American people are disgusted by a corrupt political system that enables Elon Musk to spend 270 million US dollars for the election of Donald Trump. You want change. We can make changes.
If our opposition is taken seriously against Citizens United, we first have to clean our own house. Super Pac money and dark money must be banned from democratic primary elections. We congratulate the Democratic Party in Arizona on its latest congress. The National Democratic Party must follow.
The Democrats of the Senate who have signed the letter are among the most progressive and future -oriented members of this body.
The senators are also correct.
The Democratic Party could easily prohibit Super Pacs from their primary elections. In fact, you only have to go to the primary trump in 2024 did not have much official campaign surgery, but almost everything in terms of money flowed through a number of Super Pacs. The Ron Desantis campaign was worse. A super pac essentially led the Desantis campaign.
Democrats cannot be taken seriously if they clean up and clean up their own process.
The reality is that the Democrats themselves, if they had control over the entire federal government and had passed a ban on Citizens United into the law, would probably be lifted by the conservative majority at the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court has spent almost 50 years for campaign financing legislation, and since the current conservative SCOTUS majority is more extreme than earlier, it is unlikely that everything that could say goodbye could survive the Supreme Court.
The unlikely reform of the Federal Campaign Financing Process is why it is of crucial importance for Democrats to at least prohibit Super PAC money in the presidential area code.
Democrats cannot control what the Supreme Court could do, but they can and should control their own nomination process of the president.
