First 2028 Democrat Announces They Are Not Running For President

Moore, who is in the third year of his first term, expects to compete for reelection in predominantly Democratic Maryland next year. He said becoming the state’s governor during a difficult period requires his whole attention.

Another name continues to be floated as making early moves before 2028: Pete Buttigieg.

Buttigieg continues to force his way into the digital media sphere, defying traditional Democratic standards as talk of a presidential run grows.

The former secretary came to Washington this week to attend an event with Democratic content producers and make some media appearances, as talk mounts about a 2028 presidential run following Buttigieg’s revelation that he will not compete for the open Michigan Senate or gubernatorial seat.
