Watch for Dem governors Shapiro and Beshear.

They’re both physically attractive and well-spoken (both are important, unfortunately) and could be dangerous.

Agreed, though they be hard pressed to make in through the democrat primaries.

Watch for Dem governors Shapiro and Beshear.

Shapiro, normally I would say yes. But no, because he's Jewish and his party is now antisemitic.

Beshear is a bore.

My sister (Maryland resident for almost 50 years, but retiring to PA) thinks Maryland Governor Wes Moore is a big future Dem star and somebody to be worried about. Moore’s charisma, military background, Rhodes Scholar credentials, and connections to high-profile figures like Oprah Winfrey and George Clooney, who praised him as “spectacular,” contribute to his image as a rising Democratic star.

He has consistently denied presidential aspirations, but his actions don't support that. He appeared in early-primary states like South Carolina, where he headlined the Democratic Party’s Blue Palmetto Dinner, and Pennsylvania, a key swing state. He has made national TV appearances on shows like The View and Fox News Sunday, further evidence of a potential presidential bid.

My sister is shocked that a rise up from nothing guy like that with a strong military background could become a raging leftist. He claims to be "a pragmatic, center-left mainstream Democrat" whose policies focus on economic growth, public safety, and affordability, with initiatives like tax relief for small businesses and investments in education and infrastructure. He’s emphasized job creation and private-sector partnerships, as seen in his handling of the Francis Scott Key Bridge recovery. But he supports "affordable housing" and climate initiatives.

Plus, he has the correct melanin...

It's really too bad he wasn't named "Les" instead of "Wes."

Name recognition is nil, for both. They won’t get traction over Kamala, AOC, and Mayor Pete. Also, neither Shapiro nor Beshear is going to want to waste their capital going up against JD. They’ll have some other sacrifice…like Charlie Crist was against DeSantis in FL’s 2022 Gov race.
