2028 Democrat Presidential Hopeful Exposes Party Civil War Against Its Socialist Wing

Gov. Josh Shapiro sat down with Dana Bash on CNN’s State of the Union this weekend and said the quiet part out loud: his party is being overrun by its socialist and far left flank.

Bash pressed Shapiro on Darializa Avila Chevalier, who won the Democratic congressional primary in New York’s 13th congressional district last month while running as an open socialist.

Chevalier’s platform includes abolishing prisons, opening the borders, ending deportations, and granting mercy even to violent criminals. 

Bash also noted that Chevalier attended a pro-Palestinian rally on October 8, 2023, one day after Hamas terrorists slaughtered, raped, and kidnapped their way across southern Israel.

According to Bash, that rally featured antisemitic rhetoric defending the attack. Bash asked Shapiro how he feels, as a Democrat, about someone with those views heading to Congress.

Shapiro tried to have it both ways.

“Well, her district voted for her,” he said. But that statement also came with a convenient disclaimer. “But I have profound differences from that particular candidate, based on the citations that you read there. And she’s not someone who, you know, seemingly, I would agree with on many things, or that we share similar values. She ran on the Democratic ticket, I guess as a socialist; her voters in that district determined that she was the one they wanted representing them.”

Note the hedge. Shapiro was describing someone who wants to shield violent criminals from deportation and who reportedly stood in solidarity with people cheering a massacre of Jews. Yet, the strongest word he could summon was “seemingly.”

Bash followed up by asking what Chevalier’s win says about the Democratic Party. Here Shapiro dropped whatever remained of the diplomatic pretense. “I think that what our party has to go through, that will be very healthy, and something that we’ve not really done since the 1992 elections, is to have a battle over what we believe in,” he said.

Billionaire Tech Mogul Peter Thiel Warns Woke AI Company Anthropic Could Rig 2028 Election for Democrats

Billionaire technology Peter Thiel warned that AI company Anthropic could use its technological advantage to influence the 2028 presidential election in favor of Democrats.

Speaking at the Aspen Ideas Festival, Thiel suggested that Anthropic, which he described as a “woke liberal company,” was “winning the AI race” and could use its advanced AI models to “rig the elections in 2028.”

Thiel, who co-founded both PayPal and Palantir, argued he company would be able to “completely outwit” any efforts by Elon Musk to counter it through X because of the power of its technology.

Anthropic has declined to comment, referring reporters to a previous blog post on election integrity and political bias.

The company has clashed with the Trump administration, which has even designated it a “supply chain risk” because of the restrictions it wants to place on military programs.

CEO Dario Amodei is known for his left-wing views and has likened President Trump to a “feudal warlord.”

Kamala Harris Reaches Out to Mamdani and AOC, and Yes, That’s What It Means

Well, it looks as if Kamala Harris is indeed planning to run for president in 2028, and that she is counting on the Democrat Party’s rapidly growing Marxist wing to propel her into the White House. Yes, it could mean the end of the United States as a free nation, particularly given the Biden regime’s taste for authoritarianism (hounding the social media giants to silence COVID dissidents, trying to establish a Disinformation Governance Board, treating pro-lifers as if they were terrorists, etc.). About that, Harris has never shown any concern, and now she seems more focused on the pursuit of raw power than ever before.

That was clear from the fact that, as Fox News reported Wednesday, Harris is “courting New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and other progressive power players as 2028 speculation builds around another possible White House bid.”

Mamdani is a committed Marxist and Twelver Shi’ite Muslim who has already set in motion efforts to make the city government, or Mamdani’s cronies in Marxist NGOs, New York City’s biggest landlord, which would cement the far left in power for the foreseeable future and almost certainly seal the demise of the city that is the very symbol of capitalism and the financial capital of the world. 

Instead of reaching out to Mamdani and trying to forge ties with him, Harris and other pillars of the Democrat establishment ought to be shunning him and his ilk, and making it abundantly clear that their party is not a Marxist, anti-American outfit. That, however, would require a sane world.

In this one, Harris also met with another socialist, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Swizzle Stick), “behind the scenes at a Black women empowerment summit in Chicago,” which also indicates that Harris is still pretending to be black. Among her numerous notorious statements, AOC, herself a rising star in Democrat circles, once declared that “a system that allows billionaires to exist” is inherently immoral, and insisted as recently as May 2026 that it is impossible to earn a billion dollars without breaking the law.

As if embracing more or less open Marxists weren’t enough, Harris went for the full leftist/Islamic trifecta, as she has “reportedly has also been reaching out to pro-Palestinian groups after she faced pushback from those groups during her 2024 presidential run. Harris reached out to at least one group that was part of the ‘Uncommitted Movement’ that developed as a result of President Joe Biden’s handling of the Israel and Gaza conflict.”

Just days after the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas massacre of 1,200 Israelis, Old Joe Biden gave Gaza $100 million in “humanitarian aid,” which means that he was funding Hamas’ jihad against Israel. Hamas was in control of Gaza, and so the money went to Hamas. (The Biden regime wasn’t about to give the money to Israel to distribute.) And since Old Joe was supplying the money for food and medicine and schools and the like, the money that Hamas had planned to spend on all that was then freed up to pay for rockets, bombs, tunnels, and other accoutrements of jihad. 

Yet even that wasn’t enough for the far left, which demanded that Old Joe repudiate Israel altogether. Harris, in meeting with a group that hated Israel so much that it wouldn’t vote for Old Joe, was signaling that she was prepared to throw the Jewish state under the bus in order to get into the White House.

SHE’S OUT? Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer Claims She is NOT RUNNING for President in 2028

The field of Democrats running for president in 2028 is going to be huge, but according to Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, she will not be one of them.

Perhaps Whitmer just doesn’t want to answer the many questions that would come up about her horrible Covid-19 policies. Or maybe she just wants to leave the tough foreign policy questions to more qualified people, like AOC.

Either way, the country will probably be better off without Big Sister running for president.

2028 Panic Mode: Whitmer Out, Polls Brutal for Democrats

We’re a long way out from 2028 — we’re not even through the midterms yet — but modern-day political campaigns are never-ending, and already pundits are speculating on who will succeed Donald Trump as president.

On the GOP side, most of the money is on either Vice President JD Vance or Secretary of State Marco Rubio earning the nomination, with some conservatives dreaming of a joint ticket.

Over on Team Democrat, meanwhile, the field is unclear, mostly because it’s so bad. They seemingly have no Bill Clinton or Barack Obama to jump out of the woodwork and inspire the base. California Gov. Gavin Newsom arguably gets the most press, but his résumé is so shockingly awful that it’s hard to see him getting through the primaries, much less the general. Former VP Kamala Harris? Voters have seen that movie before, and very few are demanding a sequel.

Another name that has been bandied about in the past is Michigan Gov. Gretchen “I will take away your seeds!” Whitmer. Well, you can count her out, because on Thursday she said no can do…

Marco Rubio: The Neocons’ Golden Boy

Marco Rubio has increasingly been pushed by the neocons to become the 2028 presidential nominee, and they seemingly view him as their “golden boy” who will keep the wheels of the war machine turning. But I’m always interested in the why. Let’s take a journey.

To understand Rubio’s hawkish foreign policy, you first have to understand his background. Rubio’s parents were Cuban immigrants who fled Cuba before Fidel Castro took power, but the sting of the communist takeover still had an immense impact on his family. His grandfather played an especially significant role in shaping Rubio’s worldview. In an interview with The Washington Post, Rubio said his grandfather described “how communism destroyed lives in Cuba and how the United States had a unique role to play in the world as the enforcer of freedom.” (Marco Rubio’s Cold War). To put it simply, the idea of the United States acting as the world’s policeman was instilled in Rubio at a very young age, and that mentality has only intensified throughout his political career.

Rubio has built a reputation as one of the most consistently hawkish Republicans in modern politics. Over the years, he has backed countless U.S. interventions and aggressive foreign policy measures, including support for the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi in Libya, the removal of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela, economic sanctions against the Chinese Communist Party, continued aid to Ukraine, and hardline measures against Iran. That is one hell of a résumé, and it tells you everything you need to know about Rubio. In fact, he has become such a foreign policy fixture that many Americans have likely forgotten about his domestic positions altogether. Rubio represents the classic interventionist mindset, and if it were up to him, the administration would likely push even harder to fulfill its self-appointed mission of policing the world – a strategy that has repeatedly failed and consistently ended in disaster. History has not been kind to that approach.

With all of this in mind, it becomes crystal clear why Rubio is being pushed so aggressively for 2028. He will give the establishment exactly what it wants. Analysts have described Rubio as “rebooting the neocons for the MAGA era.” If Rubio seeks the Republican nomination in 2028 – which I believe he will – he will undoubtedly receive enormous backing from the war class. The shadiest PACs, the most aggressive foreign lobbying groups, and individuals with massive financial interests tied to defense contractors and global conflicts will all line up behind him. He is the neoconservative golden boy, and they will do everything possible to put him in the White House.

She’s Running Again: Kamala Harris’s 2026 Memorial Day Message is a Lot Different Than Her Previous Posts

She’s running again.

Failed presidential hopeful Kamala Harris’s 2026 Memorial Day message is a lot different than her previous posts.

“Today, we pause to remember the Americans who laid down their lives in service to our nation,” Kamala Harris said in a caption with a photo of Arlington National Cemetery.

“May we always honor their legacy and support the loved ones they left behind,” Harris said.

In 2021, Kamala Harris caused a firestorm after she posted a callous Memorial Day message.

“Enjoy the long weekend,” Harris said.

AOC Taking Major Steps Toward 2028 Presidential Bid, According to New Report

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is actively positioning herself for a potential run for president in 2028, according to a new report.

The New York congresswoman has begun a “de facto national tour,” visited key early primary states, held meetings with Democratic insiders, and continues to build the kind of infrastructure that could fuel a White House campaign.

While AOC has not formally announced any decision, her recent moves, combined with strong early polling and a history of hiring veterans from Bernie Sanders’ presidential bids, have led many to speculate that she has something up her sleeve.

In a new report from Axios, reporters Alex Thompson and Holly Otterbein detailed how Ocasio-Cortez is making concrete steps toward a presidential campaign.

The report described her as “one of the biggest X factors in the 2028 Democratic primary,” noting that Democratic operatives believe she could “easily raise $100 million just from small-dollar donors, mobilize many supporters of Sanders’ past campaigns, and command attention as few other candidates could.”

The report points out that just this month, AOC has:

  • Rallied voters in Philadelphia for a left-wing congressional candidate in a competitive primary.
  • Spoken at a rally in Montgomery, Ala., about voting rights.
  • Addressed the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta with Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock. (Democrats note that Warnock, the church’s senior pastor, doesn’t always allow visiting politicians to speak at this church. Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg didn’t speak when he visited in March.)
  • Met with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s daughter at the King Center in Atlanta to talk about data centers and voting rights.
  • Visited Morehouse School of Medicine, also in Atlanta, to discuss Black maternal health.
  • Rolled out several endorsements in races across the country.

Speaking at an event at the University of Chicago with former Obama adviser David Axelrod earlier this month, Ocasio-Cortez responded to questions about 2028 by saying, “They assume that my ambition is positional… They assume that my ambition is a title or a seat. And my ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country.”

Thomas Massie Says He “Will Not Rule Out” 2028 Presidential Run: “I Will Stay Engaged in Some Way or Shape”

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) on Sunday revealed that he’s not ruling out a bid for the White House in 2028 following his loss in the primary last week to Trump-backed Republican challenger Ed Gallrein. 

Massie joined NBC’s Kristen Welker for an interview on Meet the Press, where she asked him about the potential 2028 run.

“I will not rule out anything, and right now I’m not going to rule in anything,” Massie said.

“I’ll take some time and decide what’s next, but I think I will stay engaged in some way or shape,” he continued. “Maybe it’s from the outside. I’ve been exposing what’s going on in Washington, D.C. for years, and I’ll keep doing it.”

Asked about whether he would run as a Republican, Massie again said, “I won’t rule anything out,” adding, “I won’t rule out a run for county commissioner. I used to be the County judge executive here. That was probably the best job I ever had in politics.”

Hakeem Jeffries Concedes Defeat, Moves Gerrymander Battle to 2028

Sounds like House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) has conceded defeat in the 2026 redistricting battle, but like George Costanza and the Jerk Store, he’s already plotting his revenge in 2028.

If you take a deep breath, you can smell the failure laced with no small amount of humiliation…

“In advance of 2028, where we will have additional states that will come online, including but not limited to New York, New Jersey, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Illinois, and Maryland,” says Jeffries. “That’s at least seven states. We will be able to unleash a decisive and forceful response to what they are doing in the Deep South.”

He adds, “And I’m telling you right now we will, as several of those governors have already publicly indicated and as the Senate president in New Jersey just said earlier today.”

Beneath Hakeem’s feet is an $80 million pile of ash, which is what Democrats spent to lose their redistricting battle in Virginia.

So, let’s go through Hakeem’s list… The first number is the number of Democrat to Republican seats. Then we’ll compare the percentage of Democrat seats to the percentage of the vote President Trump received in each state:

  • New York: 19D to 7R — Democrats hold 73.1 percent of the seats in a state where Trump earned 43.3 percent of the vote.
  • New Jersey: 9D to 3R — Democrats hold 75 percent of the seats in a state where Trump earned 46.1 percent of the vote.
  • Colorado: 4D to 4R — Democrats hold 50 percent of the seats in a state where Trump earned 43.1 percent of the vote.
  • Washington: 8D to 2R — Democrats hold 80 percent of the seats in a state where Trump earned 39 percent of the vote.
  • Oregon: 5D to 1R — Democrats hold 83.3 percent of the seats in a state where Trump earned 41 percent of the vote.
  • Illinois: 14D to 3R — Democrats hold 82.4 percent of the seats in a state where Trump earned 43.5 percent of the vote.
  • Maryland: 7D to 1R — Democrats hold 87.5 percent of the seats in a state where Trump earned 34.1 percent of the vote.

So, as you can see, other than Colorado, these states are already gerrymandered and rigged in the Democrat Party’s favor way out of proportion to the percentage of that state’s Democrat voters.

How much more damage can they really do?

Cash for crowds scandal as lobbyist ‘offered hundreds of dollars to recruit attendees for JD Vance speech’

Vice President JD Vance‘s appearance in a state critical to the 2028 Republican presidential nomination is raising eyebrows due to a lobbyist’s bid to entice attendees.

Ahead of a rally Vance headlined in Des Moines with Iowa Congressman Zach Nunn that took place last Tuesday, a text message was sent by an Iowa ethanol lobbyist recruiting spectators to attend. The messages contained an offer of payment.

The text, obtained and published by Iowa Starting Line read:

‘Gentlemen, Jake Swanson here. I wanted to invite you to join me in seeing Vice President JD Vance this afternoon in Des Moines. I do some work for an ethanol company and so if you’re able to join, I will give you $100, and for anyone that you recruit, an additional $25. No limit on referrals, so if someone recruits a group of 20 to show up, that’s $500.’

Swanson is a lobbyist and a former policy adviser to Iowa’s Republican governor, Kim Reynolds.

In a statement to Iowa Starting Line, Swanson defended the move: ‘I love ethanol and what it does for our state. 

‘So I was happy to bring some Iowa State kids to the rally to celebrate all the things Trump-Vance have done for biofuels and I think there’s opportunity for so much more. This is what I like to do in my own personal spare time,’ Swanson noted.

The Daily Mail reached out for comment to the Vice President’s office, which did not respond in time for publication. There is no suggestion that Vance or his team were aware of Swanson’s actions. Swanson was also contacted for additional comment.
