Had a little chat with someone about her thoughts on 2026, 2028 and even 2032 — coming tomorrow morning on cnn.com ….
In case you missed from the weekend: my story from New Hampshire on Raphael Warnock’s midterms push, his faith being tested, the prayer he’s been saying since he was a boy, and where that maybe leads him for 2028… cnn.com/2026/10/11/politics/…
“God is not a Democrat. And contrary to what people seem to think, God is not a Republican,” Warnock said. "I think God’s on the side of seniors who are having to decide whether they’re going to buy groceries or buy medicine.”

“Look, I know that in a matter of months,” Warnock said, “I’ll be in a race.”
NEW from me - in New Hampshire, asked about running for president, Raphael Warnock told me the prayer he’s been saying since he was a boy for God to direct his path:
“My prayer is that I can be used to do the most good with the gifts that I have.” cnn.com/2026/10/11/politics/…
Over breakfast in Portsmouth NH, Warnock told me his own faith has been tested the last few years:
“Any thinking person of faith living through a moment like this has some questions for God: ‘Why are we here? I can’t believe we’re doing this again.’”

Another 2028 wrinkle into 2026 - Beshear gave $1M from the DGA to Hinojosa in Texas, but got $1M from Pritzker into the DGA on a phone call when Pritzker pushed for more investment in Texas, though the money wasn't earmarked cnn.com/2026/10/09/politics/…
NEW from me - Andy Beshear hoped being chair of the Dem Govs Assoc this midterms year would raise his profile and connections ahead of his expected 2028 run.
But it’s also created an opening for Latino leader to ramp up pressure on him over Texas:

El-Sayed to me on some of the pushback he's still getting:
“I’m not the Democrat the Democrats want, but I am the Democrat that Democrats have. And I am decidedly not a Republican. But this is what I’ll tell you: I am a Democrat that Michiganders want."
cnn.com/2026/10/07/politics/…
NEW from me, on the ground in Michigan, where El-Sayed is getting a celebrity reception from crowds but frustration from some key leaders who feel dismissed, calling Hasan Piker to get him to quiet down, and predicting a 7 point win:

Good deep dive from @IsaacDovere into nervousness among some MI Dems over whether El-Sayed can consolidate enough support (especially among Black and Jewish voters) to win in November. cnn.com/2026/10/07/politics/…
.@linamkhan, who’s been talking AI with, among others, multiple likely Dem 2028 candidates:
“there’s the way in which reckoning with these serious questions around AI and how do we regulate it is going to also require reckoning with the governing crisis.” cnn.com/2026/09/30/politics/…
NEW from me - Obama is pushing the prospective 2028 Democratic presidential candidates to do more on AI -- and he's not the only one.
But worries about being hit by campaign spending and the changing politics have most staying pretty quiet and undefined cnn.com/2026/09/30/politics/…
Edward-Isaac Dovere retweeted
The likely 2028 Democratic presidential candidates who've talked to Barack Obama are saying they're paying attention and working up plans when he asks them about AI.
Obama doesn't think what he's seen so far is anywhere near enough — for addressing the scale of the issue, and for dealing with the politics. And he tells them that. cnn.it/4iVYiPt
NEW from me: Obama
“You do not have, as far as I can tell, any substantial group of Republicans who are standing up and saying, ‘No, you can’t do that, because we don’t want, if there’s a Democratic president, to be banning Fox News” cnn.com/2026/09/23/politics/…
“We have been given gifts in this campaign cycle in a perfect storm of things coming together," said @GinaHinojosaTX, who as she campaigns for governor is trying to avoid becoming yet another Democrat to come up short in Texas.

"It does seem like... there has been a real drift away from Donald Trump." @IsaacDovere travels to Texas to report on Democrats’ hopes they can break the GOP's almost two decade-long hold on the Lone Star State. #InsidePolitics
NEW from me - The Rio Grande Valley was all Trump country in 2024, largely on the strength of Latino support.
Is a perfect storm brewing to make Democrats' first effort toward a real coordinated ticket in Texas help them win there and across the state?

NEW from me: So what’s Kamala Harris thinking about 2028, as Newsom and others try to stake out plans around her?
“She is not going to rush her deliberation to fit anyone else’s schedule.” cnn.com/2026/09/17/politics/…
