The answer will depend on several factors; how the midterms turn out (meaning if there’s a rout one way or the other, which Dems are left in office, who has seniority, who can raise the most money...the list of variables is long. Joe Crowley was the picked successor to Pelosi. But if he loses out to Ocasio-Cortez (he’s still on the ballot) it won’t be him. If there is a Dem rout then they may reevaluate their partisanship and “triangulate” to the center. If they retake the House and it’s perceived that identity politics is still working, it will be a trans, black, Hispanic.
Frankly, I think there will be a Dem rout and it will turn out to be a white male seen as a “moderate.” (For whatever a moderate means in the Democratic party.)
You’re right. The Dims are going to pull the same game as 2006. Pretending to be conservative or “ moderate”.

He's issuing an informative series on why he thinks America was never that great.

A hetero male who identifies as a man would be a Democrat Moderate if not Hard Right.
The last moderate democrat was George W. Bush.
