    THERE IS ANOTHER ELECTION BEFORE THAT.

    It’s two years away. It’s not even the next election! And this is all presuming that there even is another election, which is far from given.

    There is absolutely nothing you can say about a hypothetic 2028 election in 2026.

      There is absolutely nothing you can say about a hypothetic 2028 election in 2026.

      Speculation on the 2028 presidential race began five minutes after the 2024 polls closed.

      The Forever Campaign is much like the Forever War, in so far as it is a suffocating political miasma that strangles any other conversation.

      It’s just a buzzworthy headline, just for people to click so they can get more ad revenue.

      So what? There’s nothing new about presidential primary discussions in a midterm year. I’ve been following politics for thirty years and the speculation always starts around this time.

      And there’s nothing wrong with it tbh. The candidates have to start preparing now. That’s just how the primaries work.
