Jewish Presidential Contenders

The Rapid Rise Of Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff In Presidential Speculation For 2028!

Ronald 8 Comments

With the Midterm Congressional and Gubernatorial Elections of 2026 taking place about 100 days from now, speculation is growing on who will benefit from upcoming election races.

The person gaining the most attention, and experiencing the most rapid rise in public opinion polls, is Georgia Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff, who is ahead in polls by 13 points over his Republican opponent, Congressman Mike Collins.

Ossoff is the youngest Senator elected since 1980, being 33 when taking the oath of office in 2021, and still under the age of 40 when election time comes in November.

Were he to be elected President in 2028 and took the oath of office on January 20, 2029, he would enter the White House at 41 years and 11 months of age, making him the youngest President by more than a year younger than Theodore Roosevelt who was just short of age 43, and more than a year and nine months younger than John F. Kennedy, the youngest elected President, who was age 43 and almost 8 months of age upon taking the oath.

Of course, Ossoff denies any plan to run for President, but that is par for the course when one is running for reelection, but once that election is over, it seems likely he will announce for President.

Ossoff has drawn attention with his sharp questioning of Trump Administration officials, particularly on the Iran War, but also on the inflationary economy it has caused, as well as the widespread corruption of the Trump White House.

Ossoff is likely to be one of a number of Jewish Presidential contenders in 2028, which if it led to one of them being elected to the Presidency, would make for the first Jewish President.

Four Democrats, Straight White Christian Men, May Be Best Alternatives For 2028!

In a time of so much division and conflict in America, it is noticeable that most of the potential Democratic Party Presidential contenders are perceived as having disadvantages in a time of white Christian nationalist extremism taking over the Republican Party, encouraged by Donald Trump.

The following list of 20 potential Presidential contenders is quite revealing, as we have the elections next week in NYC, New Jersey, Virginia, and the California vote on reapportionment of Congressional seats.

So we have potential Presidential contenders who are females—Kamala Harris, Gretchen Whitmer, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Amy Klobuchar.

So we have potential Presidential contenders who are African Americans or Latino or Asian ethnicity—Wes Moore, Cory Booker, Raphael Warnock, Stephen A. Smith, Ruben Gallego, Ro Khanna.

So we have potential Presidential contenders who are Jewish—JD Pritzker, Josh Shapiro, Jared Polis, Jon Ossoff, Josh Green.

So we have potential Presidential contenders who are gay—Pete Buttigieg, Jared Polis.

And then, we have white male “straight” Christian Presidential contenders—Gavin Newsom, Andy Beshear, Chris Murphy, Mark Kelly.

One could argue that in the present political climate, the latter four names—all white male “straight” Christian contenders—might be the best bet moving forward, although saying that is tragic, as it should not matter if one is a female, a racial minority, Jewish, or Gay individual.

Other than Barack Obama, the sad truth is that no woman, racial minority, Jewish, or gay politician, has been able to break through to this point, a sad commentary on American life!

Democratic State Governors To Watch, As Future Of Party!

Any concern about the future of the Democratic Party is gone, as once Joe Biden has become President for a second term, or decides not to run, opening up potential for other Democrats, the party has a “bench” of fantastic governors who care about public health and safety, and who are compassionate and empathetic human beings.

This is in reference to the following Democratic state governors, no special order:

Gavin Newsom of California
J B. Pritzker of Illinois
Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania
Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan
Wes Moore of Maryland
Jared Polis of Colorado
Laura Kelly of Kansas

At least the first five listed are potential Presidential contenders in the future, and with Pritzker and Shapiro being Jewish; Whitmer (along with Kelly) being female; Moore being African American; Polis being gay; and Newsom being an original promoter of gay rights and gay marriage.

At the same time, the Republicans have potential Presidential contenders, who are more concerned about being nasty, vicious, divisive, confrontational, and have no concern about public health and safety, including:

Ron DeSantis of Florida
Greg Abbott of Texas
Kristi Noem of South Dakota

There is also Chris Sununu of New Hampshire (an exception, not as extreme and confrontational as the other three listed).

Of course, there are also soon to be former governor Asa Hutchinson of Arkansas; and former governor Chris Christie of New Jersey, who are more like Chris Sununu.

Additionally, soon to be former governors Larry Hogan of Maryland and Charlie Baker of Massachusetts come across as more decent, but like Hutchinson and Christie, unlikely to get very far in the Presidential race for 2024!
