Marci McCarthy Chairman | DeKalb County Republican Party
Two never-Trump Republicans, Gary Alexander and Rick Cunningham, have expressed optimism about the Democratic Party's prospects in upcoming elections. In an op-ed for The Hill, they predict a strong showing for Democrats in 2028 and possibly 2032. They argue that despite negative narratives, Democrats are well-positioned due to historical and strategic factors.
The authors suggest Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro as a potential presidential candidate with Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer as his running mate. This duo is seen as capable of reinforcing the "blue wall" states crucial in past elections.
Reactions on social media were mixed, with some users dismissing the predictions as unrealistic or overly optimistic. One comment humorously compared it to predicting a Super Bowl win for an unlikely team.
Despite skepticism from various quarters, Alexander and Cunningham maintain their belief in a Democratic resurgence based on their analysis of political dynamics.
