Trump's Policies Boost Dem Governors for 2028 Presidential Bids

  • Donald Trump's aggressive policy agenda is giving Democratic governors a national stage to position themselves as potential 2028 presidential contenders.
  • California's Gavin Newsom, Illinois' JB Pritzker, and Maryland's Wes Moore are leveraging Trump's moves to rally their party's base and build national profiles.
  • Newsom has countered Trump's redistricting efforts, campaigned in Texas, and frequently trolls Trump on social media.
  • Pritzker has defended immigrant communities against Trump's enforcement, while Moore has restored SNAP benefits and campaigned against federal cuts.
  • Their strong opposition to Trump is welcomed by Democrats seeking leaders to "put a check on Trump" after recent electoral setbacks.

Why It Matters: Trump's policies are shaping future Democratic presidential contenders.
