Crockett: Democrats seek a white male for 2028
Representative Jasmine Crockett stated that some Democratic donors are pushing for a white male candidate in the 2028 presidential election. This is due to concerns about electability after recent losses by female candidates. Crockett said donors are rallying behind a specific white male candidate, though she did not reveal the individual's identity. She cited a fear within the party of supporting a woman, referencing Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris's electoral outcomes. The comments were made during a SiriusXM interview discussing the party's future. Potential candidates fitting the description include Gavin Newsom, Josh Shapiro, JB Pritzker, and Pete Buttigieg.
