FREDERICKSBURG, Va. - Democrats elected their political future in 2018. Now, that bench of potential statewideleaders could get wiped out.
The last midterm election saw a slate of Democratic rising stars roll into Congress on a wave of anti-Trump resentment and fundraising prowess built on top of that backlash. Now, with a few House terms under their belts, they are prime candidates to run statewide in the future - but first, they must survive their first election that isn’t dominated by former President Donald Trump.
“Everyone” in Michigan thinks Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.), will “run statewide,” said Jason Cabel Roe, a Republican consultant who is working for Slotkin’s House opponent this year, Tom Barrett. “The buzz around” Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-N.J.) is that she’ll be “running for governor in 2025,” when the seat is set to be open, said Mike DuHaime, a Republican consultant based in the state.
Reps. Sharice Davids (D-Kan.), Jared Golden (D-Maine), Katie Porter (D-Calif.), Dean Phillips (D-Minn.), Jason Crow (D-Colo.) and Joe Neguse (D-Colo.) are also among those frequently name-checked by operatives in their states as formidable statewide candidates for the future. In Pennsylvania, many expected Rep. Chrissy Houlahan to run for Senate this year, but she opted against it and instead remains on the radar for a future bid, said J.J. Balaban, a Democratic strategist in the state. And Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) are closely watched by Democrats in their states for a future step up.
But much of Democrats’ “Class of 2018" is under threat, staring down a brutal midterm climate in battleground districts, some made more difficult after redistricting, while a handful turned a shade bluer. Presidential approval ratings and historical precedence now weigh heavily against them - instead of working in their favor, as they did in 2018...

“Stars” — LOL. Commies and hate-America does not a “star” make.
There's a M*A*S*H reference here somewhere.
Here is hoping the great butt wiping of 2022 truly puts future Democrats in the place where they belong, their political careers flushed and gone.
Since Obama couldn’t stand to share the lime-light with anyone at all, the democrats cleared their bench. They had no vibrant democrats coming up through the field except for the progressive communists.
Meanwhile, the GOP (for the most part) let their bench fill up with future leaders. Then, Trump came along and started supporting true American Patriots, and conservatives started weeding out the RINOS (we have made a few mistakes). Now, conservatives have a deep bench and the Democrats have communists. Choose your future carefully.
(Note: We have to watch carefully for pretend conservatives. The GOPe is trying to seed the field with those who talk a good talk but fold to the establishment pretty quickly — as in Crenshaw).
81 million alleged votes later......
Solid catch.
Democrat stars like Charles Manson, and Jeffery Dahlmer?
May they all get wiped out!
Look on the bright side. This will give them the opportunity to find honest and useful work.
The only good democrat politician is an unemployed democrat politician.
This Fall has been really fun. First we got to slaughter a lot of RINOs in the primaries. Now we’ll get to slaughter a lot of Democrats in the general election.
LOL! I think you meant butt whipping instead of butt wiping.....but on second thought maybe the latter is more appropriate given these Democrats are pure shit.
I was going with wiping.
And this nation needs its butt wiped ... badly.
DemocRATS don’t have “stars” they have ASSteroids.
Will the globalist warmonger, AOC, lose her seat?
Slotkin is just another POS.
