Potential 2028 democratic candidates transfer within the center, and that's an enormous mistake
Al Gore, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris all have together. They all moved into the middle as democratic presidential candidates and they all lost.
Barack Obama did not go to the middle. Obama did not shift and changed when he became a presidential candidate and he won twice.
Joe Biden is a fascinating example because he started in the middle, moved to the left to consolidate the party and won.
The only common point in recent history, which all democratic presidential campaigns share, is that when you move into the middle, you discourage the democratic basis and lose them.
Around 2028 democratic presidents hope the story of the story in a bad way.
Politico reported:
In search of a way out of the political wilderness, potential 2028 candidates, especially those from blue states, try on social issues that collect some in the party to the left that cost the elections in November.
Maryland Governor Wes Moore, who is black, took a legislative template that took steps towards represents that were adopted by his state legislation. Gavin Newsom, Governor of California, called it “unfair” to enable transgender athletes to take part in female college and youth sports. And Rahm Emanuel asked his party to go back to the center.

Moderate democrats have a moment and there is a squad of consultants and strategists who are willing to support them.
The same democratic strategy and advisory class that misunderstood it in 2016, 2022 and 2024 and the Democrats of Congress lost in 2020 believes that this time they are rather republicans, but will do it right.
The Democrats lost in 2024 because their campaign strategy and message was so bad that she was depressed and demoralized her own party. Democrats lost because millions of Democrats have not chosen. It is not the case that Democrats have lost the middle or white men. Democrats lost democrats. Instead of thinking about how to get the middle, these “experts” have to check how they can lead their own party.
Not that you listen, but democratic voters have been telling you for months what you want from the party.
Democratic voters want leadership, fight and brave action.
The Republicans did not win the election on the basis of cultural war deflections. They won because the prices and inflation annoyed voters and the Democrats did not recognize and addressed this anger directly.
Every democratic presidential candidate who follows the council of these consultants and moves into the middle will not be the candidate. The Democratic Presidential Primary voter despair more to the left and heard a message about how Democrats have to move to the middle to switch off these voters.
The most exciting candidate who is willing to fight the Republicans will be the candidate. Those who try to run in the middle stay in the dust.
