We've been reporting on the various people contemplating or being talked about as possible 2028 candidates to run for president in the Democrat Party.
The names being kicked around are a festival of failure, including California Gov. Gavin "Hairgel" Newsom, the "don't ever call me Border Czar" Kamala Harris, and the thirsting Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14).
But now those people may have company, because guess who is confessing he's "kicking the tires"? Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD).
He said to Meet the Press anchor Kristen Welker that he had been considering running in 2028, that he'd been to New Hampshire and was invited to Iowa, and was "testing the waters."
Now what's hilarious about that is that he's mostly known for his ridiculous support of "Maryland Man" Kilmar Albrego Garcia. That's not exactly a good recommendation for the job of president. He will never be able to live down this picture.
But then Van Hollen made it worse. Welker asked if he would accept an endorsement from the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Van Hollen stumbled all over himself.
"I'm not going to reject an endorsement by certain individuals at the DSA," Van Hollen said, although he said he was not seeking an endorsement from the DSA.
But if you're willing to accept their endorsement, and you think they have a place in the Democrat Party, you're in league with them, so that's immediately disqualifying. The DSA, according to its platform, wants to upend our system of government. That's incompatible with running for president.
Chances that Van Hollen has in 2028? I'm not even sure he would crack one percent.
The most common response on X to the clip about him running was people just mocking him. He would be such a gift to the Republicans if he somehow managed to be the Democrat nominee. But I don't think that's going to happen.
In addition to not having any positive national presence, Van Hollen has all the personality of a wet blanket. What has he done that's worthwhile to even be worthy of the thought? A whole lot of nothing. I think he and Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna (CA-17) would be in a tight competition for "worst primary performers."

The DSA comma circus has no shortage of Clowns. Send in the Clowns. There ought to be Clowns.
Damn spell check. “Commie Circus”
The DSA wants to unseat Democrat.
Many run to audition for cabinet
During the 2016 campaign, a newspaper published a photo of three people. The caption read “Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton speak with a supporter.”
The supporter was former Maryland Governor and Presidential Candidate Martin O’Malley.
Van Hollow will be even more invisible than that.
Come on folks, VanHollen and Liz Warren would be a fabulous ticket in 28.
From MS-13 supporters, Kilmar Albrego supporters and ILLEGAL DRUG and CHILD SEX TRAFFICKERS!!
what a maroon. why do democrats have such a bloated sense of self...
van hollen is a measly weasely wimp
HOW MANY LAWS DID HE BREAK OVER AN ILLEGAL WHO ADMITTED TO TRAFFICKING ILLEGALS FROM TEXAS TO THE EAST COAST?
ego of this fool amazes me
