It seems safe to assume that neither Trump nor Biden will be nominated in 2028. This article is an attempt to cover the waterfront, listing several possibilities for each party. It's Politico, so there's a definite anti-Trump bias, but the author does include some MAGA politicians.

With the obvious caveat that the nominee may be someone not now in the picture, the article briefly discusses the strengths and weaknesses of:

Democrats - Kamala Harris, Gretchen Whitmer, Andy Beshear, Roy Cooper, Wes Moore, Josh Shapiro, Gavin Newsom, J. B. Pritzker, John Fetterman, Raphael Warnock, and Pete Buttigieg.

Republicans - Nikki Haley, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Greg Abbott, Brian Kemp, Matt Gaetz, Byron Donalds, Elise Stefanik, J. D. Vance, Josh Hawley, and Katie Britt.

Now, before you get all apoplectic and say that someone you dislike has no chance of winning, ask yourself what you would have thought at this stage about Obama's chances (2003) or Trump's chances (2011). Would they even have been on your radar? A lot can happen in five years!

If there's a name on the list you don't even recognize, you might find it worth your time to get a quick summary.

We can also ask who's missing. For the Republicans, maybe Mike Pompeo, if he's Trump's running mate? For the Democrats, maybe Adam Schiff, if he wins next year's Senate race?

All were Junior Democrat spoilers.

ask yourself what you would have thought at this stage about... Trump's chances (2011)...

Simpson's was able to get it right, even before 2011. Not only regarding DJT being POTUS, but him even coming down the escalator, that it would be from right to left, and that there would be "paid" sign holders on the balcony overlooking said escalator.

In 1971, nobody would have predicted Jimmy Carter as the Dem. nominee for 1976.

In 1967, who would have predicted George McGovern would be the Democrat nominee in 1972?

In 1983, was anyone touting Dukakis for the Democrats?

Heck, in 2015, when we learned that VP Biden wasn’t running in 2016, who among us would have predicted he was the man for 2020?

A lot can happen in politics in a five year span.

Politico's Bill Scher is doomed to eat a big, grundgy helping of Crow Pie as President Trump returns victorious to his White House.

The nefarious Jack Smith and his bogus case against the former President is splintering and falling apart before our eyes. The upcoming rulings by the Supreme Court will shatter whatever tattered phony claims remain on the broken structure of the leftist illegal case.

Donald J. Trump is now primed to return to the seat of power from which he has been criminally deprived by the Dem forces of evil.
