How Trump raises the potential 2028 Democrats

By Melanie Zanona

President Donald Trump has chosen a new fight this weekend with Maryland Wes Moore Democratic Governor, adding Baltimore to his ever-increasing list of potential targets for crime repression.

After Moore invited Trump to come and walk in the streets of Baltimore, Trump not only threatened to send federal troops to load the city, but also attacked Moore and even launched the idea of ​​drawing funding for the Keyland Bridge Francis Scott collapsed in Maryland.

However, Moore, a rising star of democratic policy that could be in the mixture for the president in 2028, seems to welcome the quarrel with open arms. He quickly retaliated on Trump and already made the sleeves of the media after his War of Words of the Weekend with Trump.

As part of this media tour, Moore also challenged Trump on another front: redistribution. He left the door open to the “Face The Nation” of CBS News in pursuit of an access to mid-Decennia of the Maryland Congress lines in response to a new card that the Texas Republicans adopted at Trump’s request.

The governor is hardly the only one to enjoy the opportunity to take care of Trump.

From the mobilization of federal troops to the national redistribution battle, some of Trump’s recent actions inadvertently provide democratic presidential hopes for a platform of choice to confront him head on. And at a time when the party base claims its leaders to fight, it could give to ambitious democratic politicians just the juice they were looking for.

California Governor Gavin Newsom is perhaps the most obvious example. He led the accusation to counter the Rediscup on Texas and frame it as a way to stick it to Trump. In the process, Newsom has collected funds and its national profile, making fun of Trump’s style on social networks. And earlier this year, he led the accusation by denouncing the deployment of Trump’s troops in Los Angeles among the immigration raids.

Then there is the governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker, another possible candidate in 2028 and Critique Trump who offered a refuge for the Democrats of Texas who fled the State in order to block new cards from the Congress. PRITZKER, too, strongly rejects against any Trump effort to send troops from the National Guard to Chicago.

Trump’s public elevation of these potential hopes of the Democratic White House raises questions about the question of whether some of these fights could turn against the president. But the Republicans have the impression of being on a solid basis, especially with regard to crime, a question where they consider Democrats to be particularly weak.

“Look at Governor Pritzker in Illinois, or Governor Newsom in Los Angeles, or Governor Moore in Maryland. They are more angry with the fact that the President of the United States proposes to help them control their crime than the fact that the vice-president JD Vance said next to Trump in the Oval office today.

For the moment, however, the collective response of Democratic governors in the Blue States that Trump has put the detriment seems to be.

🏛️ Last of DC: Trump has signed decrees aimed at eliminating the deposit without cash for the suspects arrested in Washington, DC, and in other jurisdictions across the country with similar policies. Meanwhile, the national guard troops that Trump deployed in the district began carrying firearms on Sunday evening.

It is the golden age of “Josh”

By Allan Smith and Amanda Terkel

Joshes has a moment.

In the current state of things, there is a non -zero chance that the presidential election can present a confrontation of Joshes as Joshes, republican and democrat, increases within their parties. While the NFL season starts, Buffalo Bills, Josh Allen’s quarterrier, is looking to repeat as the Ligue MVP winner – and finally led his team to the Super Bowl. Josh Wine, meanwhile, is a large seller. And “Weapons”, a horror film featuring actor Josh Brolin, dominated the box office rankings last week.

Three of the governor of the governor of the 50 of the country are currently occupied by Jewish men appointed Josh – and although Josh drags only Mike as the most common name, the Joshes could soon be joined by homonyms of Wisconsin and Guam, in mind.

In addition, these joshes have linked to their shared names of the Old Testament.

Hawaii governor Josh Green told NBC News that he, the governor of Pennsylvania Josh Shapiro and the Governor of North Carolina Josh Stein communicated in a group cat only for Joshes.

“It could have been called” three Joshes “,” said Green. “I’m not exactly sure. He was certainly pinned in my phone, and that’s a fun thing. In addition, we reunite periodically during the meetings of the National Governors Association or the rallies of the Association of Democratic Governors. So it’s pretty cool. And I really like these guys. “

A source familiar with the group cat, speaking on condition of anonymity to describe the Josh deliberations outside the record, said that the text thread “consists of many Joshin ‘.”

On a more serious note, Joshes, who spoke with NBC News, said that they had also noticed that their name was the majority, signaling a greater change in society – far from the Boomer Bobs and Dougs, and towards a young generation of generation of generation and generationories which, after many years, await older generations, finally come to power.
