Democrats Keep Coming to South Carolina to Stump for Midterm Candidates. It's All About 2028
Five Democrats seen as possible 2028 contenders are stumping in the state while early voting nears, signaling the next presidential cycle is already underway.
- With five weeks until the midterms, five Democrats considering 2028 presidential bids are visiting South Carolina to campaign for midterm candidates, testing the waters in the first state of the party's nominating process.
- South Carolina has solidified its position at the front of the Democratic primary calendar, prompting White House hopefuls to seek any excuse to visit and gauge their potential support among key voters.
- California Rep. Ro Khanna, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, and Rahm Emanuel are stumping in the state, holding one-off meetings alongside official candidate support appearances.
- Vice President Kamala Harris is not scheduled to visit soon; her deep relations in the state mean she does not need to campaign as frequently as others to gain recognition.
- While Republicans dominate state politics, the party's nominating process will start with Iowa caucuses, though South Carolina will hold the first southern primary for GOP candidates testing the field.
