Midterms over, Democrats plunge into wide-open 2028 presidential race

Following the conclusion of the midterms, Democrats have entered a wide-open 2028 presidential race. Currently, no single Democrat has emerged as a clear favorite in a competitive field that could potentially attract dozens of different contenders. In contrast, the Republicans have a smaller group of widely discussed candidates for the upcoming election. Both parties are now navigating the early stages of candidate positioning as the political landscape shifts toward the 2028 presidential cycle.
