单集文稿 ...

  • Presidential races are always messy, but 2028 is shaping up to be our messiest presidential campaign yet.

  • It's poised to be the first open contest for the presidential race for both parties

  • since 2016. And already there are a ton of names who are rumored

  • to be thinking about throwing their name in the mix.

  • People like AOC, Kamala Harris.

  • Or outsiders like George Clooney, who, of course,

  • made his mark in the last Democratic presidential campaign with that op-ed calling for Biden to drop out.

  • And on the Republican side, of course, there's J.D.

  • Vance.

  • But what about Marco Rubio, Marjorie Taylor Greene?

  • Or if Donald Trump runs again?

  • So today I wanted to host a little fantasy draft.

  • I'm going to start cutting out some of the faces who are most likely to be selected.

  • Now, I do think that outsiders are a good choice to be on this list.

  • I also think that you got to have candidates that speak to the black base.

  • Kamala Harris, Wes Moore, Imperfect Circle.

  • We have Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and even some of the Trump heirs like Donald Trump Jr.

  • And to help me draft, I wanted to invite two of the messiest people I know, said with love,

  • of course, Vox podcaster and journalist Kara Swisher and independent journalist and political commentator Don Lemon.

  • They're going to help me sort through two important questions.
