Democratic candidates begin early campaigning in key states ahead of the 2028 presidential race.

Democratic politicians are gearing up for the 2028 presidential race, with early campaigning in South Carolina, New Hampshire, and Iowa. This activity, starting over two years before the first primaries, is more frequent and earlier than past cycles. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, and California Rep. Ro Khanna are among those visiting these states. The Democratic Party aims to rebuild its message after losing the White House and Congress in 2024, with up to 30 Democrats potentially running.
