Democratic strategists are reportedly pushing for the 2028 presidential candidate to be a "straight, White, Christian man" after recent losses, an Axios report alleged.
"Some top Democrats are quietly debating a fraught question: whether the party's best bet for winning back the presidency in 2028 is to nominate a man — perhaps a straight, White, Christian man," Axios reported on Sunday.
"Their fear, divulged with dismay in group chats, at cocktail parties and increasingly in public, is that parts of the electorate are too biased to support a woman or other diverse candidate for president," the report continued.
The report noted that Democratic strategists have become apprehensive after both former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former Vice President Kamala Harris lost to President Donald Trump in their respective campaigns, though most of these comments have happened "behind closed doors."
"So not discounting the hundreds of other times men have lost…but is it the right thing to nominate a woman?" a national Democratic strategist told Axios.
Axios acknowledged that this concern would discount several high-profile candidates for 2028, including Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Arizona Sen. Ruben Gallego, California Rep. Ro Khanna and New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Go with the poofter Booty whatever.
Our country may yet still be doomed, but if we make it, the impenetrable stupidity of our enemies will be a prime reason
For those who want a laugh, Matt Walsh’s treatment of this story today is a hoot
They said they want a “straight, White, Christian man” (roughly as common as a unicorn in the Dem party).
Sounds like they are lining up for Andy Beshear: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4367413/posts
They painted themselves in a corner 20 years ago. No white guys need apply. The party is largely run by lunatics and radicals, revolutionaries and a loose coalition of identity groups who mostly hate each other’s guts. They will cooperate insofar as to loot the public treasury.
They barely deign to even hold primaries, which would have obviated the unpleasant specter of the execrable Biden and ditzy doodle Harris, but then .. who do they have that’s “acceptable”? Hint: certainly not straight white males. That’s the problem. It isn’t simply the “electorate” that won’t elect their freak show candidates - it’s Democrats.
Oops!
Does that leave out Horizontal?
Biden didn’t win.
Biden didn’t win, that’s just it.
Fuzzy thinking. Clinton and Harris didn’t lose because the electorate was ‘too biased to elect a woman.’ Clinton and Harris both lost because they were unskilled and unlikeable people of mediocre intellect. And they each btw had a white male running mate who turned out to be distasteful geeks. So let them find a white straight christian male. If he runs on the same stupid shyte, he will lose again.
Newsome looks like a sleazy lawyer, car dealer, or TV preacher. That makes him perfect for the role of Democratic nominee.
Back to Square One.
It’ll be interesting to see what RATs consider “Christian”.
Marco should do well on our side. Being of Cuban descent he will have a certain armor. Hopefully he will stay strong on immigration.
2020 was six years ago and Trump is back in the White House. It’s time to let it go lest you become Al Gore 2000 dead-enders.
Yeah a straight white christian male is NOT going to work in the commie party..the blue haired freaks wont vote for him
Booty says he is a christian. He is almost there.
Plus the chicks find him attractive.
Kennedy won about 49.7% of the popular vote and Nixon about 49.6%, while among men roughly 45% voted for JFK and 55% for Nixon, and among women about 51% voted for JFK and 49% for Nixon.
Relevant.
True. But they don't get to vote....in the primaries anyway.
