After Democrats’ major gains in the 2026 midterms, attention is already turning to the 2028 presidential race, with strategist Jim Messina saying more than two dozen Democrats are considering bids. Potential Democratic contenders include governors and national figures such as Gavin Newsom, Josh Shapiro, Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg, while Republicans face a leadership contest because President Donald Trump is constitutionally barred from seeking another term. The results have also reshaped early Electoral College calculations: Democrats won governorships in all six states that have recently been presidential battlegrounds, while Republican losses in states including Iowa, Ohio, North Carolina and Texas suggest the map could widen. Analysts say Democrats may have new routes to 270 electoral votes, while Republicans are debating how to remain competitive if traditionally Republican states such as Texas become less reliable.

Leo’s first stop at a home for people with disabilities underscores the dispute: the facility says government cuts have halted supplies of medication, special food and diapers.
