Clooney and Silver Reveal Their Democratic Favorites for 2028: AOC, Wes Moore, and the Battle for the Party’s Future

 

Actor George Clooney and political analyst Nate Silver have each weighed in on who they see as the future face of the Democratic Party, laying out their predictions for the 2028 presidential race. While Clooney has thrown his support behind Maryland Governor Wes Moore, Silver is leaning toward progressive Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as the most likely nominee.

Clooney, who played a notable role in encouraging President Joe Biden to step aside from the 2024 race, appeared on CNN and praised Moore’s leadership qualities, particularly highlighting his response to the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore in 2023. “I think he is the guy who has handled this tragedy in Baltimore beautifully,” Clooney said. “He has two tours of duty in Afghanistan, active duty. He speaks sort of beautifully. He’s smart. He ran a hedge fund. He ran the Robin Hood Foundation. He’s a proper leader.”

 

 

The actor didn’t stop there. “I’m a Kentucky guy, I like him, he’s a good guy… And he’s won in a red state,” Clooney said of Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, while also mentioning Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. But it was Moore who stood out. “Who I think is levitating above that is Wes Moore,” he emphasized.

 

“I like him a lot. I think he could be someone we could all join in behind. We have to find somebody rather soon because the Republicans are running through government and doing their thing. So it’s our job now to put together a proper team to stand up because we’re right now polling very poorly.” He added, “We say Democrats fall in love and Republicans fall in line. Although I think Republicans have fallen in love a little bit with Trump.”

 

Meanwhile, in his “Silver Bulletin” newsletter, Nate Silver offered his own take. Alongside political commentator Galen Druke, Silver singled out Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as his top pick for 2028. “She was going to be my first pick… Because of some of the polling; because she has this kind of progressive lane, probably not to herself; because she is younger and media savvy,” Silver said. “I mean, look, in polls, if she were to try to primary Chuck Schumer, she is now ahead in those polls, and New York Democrats are actually a pretty moderate bloc.”

 

Druke shared the sentiment, pointing to Ocasio-Cortez’s strong polling and broad appeal. “In a Yale poll just out this week, AOC has the highest net favorability rating of any of the Democrats that they asked about,” he said. “She has broad appeal across the Democratic Party and there’s a lot of people who could potentially get on board with her.” Druke also stressed that Ocasio-Cortez has “very fervent support,” something he believes will be crucial in a crowded 2028 field.

 

“I think a lot of people are gonna run in 2028, and it’s going to be a contest for attention and getting those sort of people who might be in your boat to turn out and stay with you through thick and thin, and I think that’s Ocasio-Cortez,” said Druke. “The media is kind of obsessed with her, and they’re going to follow her every move, which means she will be able to keep the attention on her throughout the primary process.”

 

While Silver wasn’t sure she would actually run, Druke disagreed. “I think she’s gonna run,” he said, citing her recent “Fight Oligarchy” tour and her strategic messaging. “She has learned a lot as a politician since those early days of opposing Amazon, and especially those early days of the 'Abolish ICE' stuff that was very unpopular ultimately.”

 

Druke noted that Ocasio-Cortez now focuses her message on economic inequality and critiques of Donald Trump’s ties to billionaires. “She’s not forced to talk about identity all the time because she’s sort of self-evidently different from any of the … white guys running, and she doesn’t have to prove her bona fides there,” he said. “At the same time, I think progressives have learned [to] stick to the economic message because what you have to say about those social and cultural state of affairs in America broadly isn’t popular, and I think she knows that.”

 

Both Silver and Druke named Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro as their second most likely Democratic nominee, while Druke placed Kamala Harris third and Silver pointed to New Jersey Senator Cory Booker.

 

As the 2028 race starts to take shape in the minds of political insiders and public figures, names like Wes Moore and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are emerging as defining contenders, each representing distinct paths for the future of the Democratic Party.

Hey Clooney "the tragedy in Baltimore" is not that bridge falling down. It's the entire city being a drug infested murder capital!  How could any Governor let this happen? Imagine what he would do to the whole country. 
Hey Nate Silver, who are you?  But keep going with AOC as your candidate and watch the Republican's just sit back and watch the REAL tragedy.

Talking of silver what happened to Clooneys hair?

 

Looks like my old PE teacher. 

 

All that's required is a combover.

Clooney looks like that because he is doing a play about Eduard R Murrow (sp?).  His make up artist is a genius.

Agreed, the GOP needs time to secure solid conservative values like free trade, a strong NATO, free speech, and the rule of law!

The reality is that they could back a glass of water and a ham sandwich.  By 2028 after over a billion dollars or more are throw into Madison Ave, K Street, and Hollywood marketing, propaganda, and lobbying, the glass of water will become a bottle of Beverly Hills 90H20 Diamond Edition elixir of life,  and the ham sandwich will become A5 Kobe Beef Filet Mignon served on Pan Piña Baker Gold Leaf Bread.  Reality is that they are still a glass of water and a ham sandwich, but politics, as in marketing, is all about the creation of an illusion, the ultimate prestige.
Btw, for anyone who believes I'm picking on Democrats, I'm not.  The US political system is a two party duopoly which are but different sides of the same coin.  This applies to the entire political system which is quite rotten to the core.  They'll be another billion USD spent to convince you that the two sides are actually different and then to urge you to the threshold of violence into order to show your allegiance to "your side."  Politics is a grift; politicians, their donors, and supporters are but grifters.  The goal is Ordo Ab Chao as it makes the rubes, the suckers, and the marks easier to fleece.

"The perfect dictatorship would have the appearance of a democracy, but would basically be a prison without walls in which the prisoners would not even dream of escaping. It would essentially be a system of slavery where, through consumption and entertainment, the slaves would love their servitudes."

Yeah what happened to his hair he looked a lot better was gray looks ridiculous

[CanadaSam]

Funny they're talking about the 2028 election!

 

Dollars to donuts, Trump & Co. (Vance included) are going to be thrown out WAY before that election year, probably by the end of THIS year!

 

Anybody care to bet real money, send me a PM.

It's a bit early. We don't even know yet if we're going to have legitimate midterms yet. One step at a time boys.

[Fat is a type of crazy]

Josh Shapiro was on Bill Maher a while ago. Disappointed in him. Stock standard uninspiring message. Maybe had a bad day. 

[ThreeCardMonte]

So where is the support for Queen Kamala?

 

And Jasmine Crockett?

 

I don’t think Vance has anything to worry about in 2028.

 

Democrats are desperate.

A few years ago they came up with a drug in the US called Ozempic for diabetes.  Someone noticed that it works as a weight-loss drug, The reaction was phenomenal, the shops were running out of it quickly and the company couldn't make it fast enough.  It has since been realized that it leaves certain telltale evidence on the face, and the term "Ozempic face" is part of the new show biz gossip jargon.  When I saw that pic of Clooney my guess was he had O-face; well, he is over 60 and married to a 40-something.  I don't think any celeb has admitted it outright, not even that painfully honest anti-lib poster girl.

 

 

I wasn't paying attention to this stuff, but then I saw actress Elizabeth Marvel on teevee and she was downright scary!
