After the midterm elections, former Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards said he will not run again, while Democrats weigh potential challengers to Gov. Jeff Landry and Republicans consider possible contenders from within their party. Michigan Gov.-elect Jocelyn Benson said she has no interest in running for president or vice president in 2028. In North Carolina, unaffiliated candidate April Montgomery won a state House seat, leaving Democrats one seat short of a supermajority and her potential alignment consequential. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is reportedly taking early steps toward another presidential run, seeing an opening for a conservative alternative after voters rejected President Trump’s platform. Separately, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faces questions about his future in the administration and a Republican lawmaker’s impeachment resolution alleging unauthorized military actions and other misconduct; Vice President J.D. Vance blamed the party’s midterm defeat on the war in Iran.
