Gallego on Possible 2028 Presidential Run: ‘We Have to Look at It’
Gallego said Democrats need 62% of the Latino vote to win the White House and said he is weighing a 2028 presidential bid.
- Senator Ruben Gallego floated a potential 2028 presidential run in a Sunday interview, emphasizing his capacity to resonate with Latino voters and regain working-class support for the Democratic Party.
- Democrats lost significant ground with Latino voters in 2024, as support dropped from 65 percent in 2020 to 51 percent. "That is the Pass Go line, collect $200 on the Monopoly board," Gallego added.
- Gallego, a Marine Corps veteran and Harvard graduate, spoke to 900 people at an industry dinner last week. He rejected calls to abolish ICE, calling the idea "ridiculous" while supporting immigration enforcement reforms.
- On Thursday, the senator will join Rev. Al Sharpton at the National Action Network's 35th Anniversary Convention among potential 2028 Democratic presidential candidates. He continues weighing his candidacy against family obligations and other contenders' strength.
- Gallego said he must evaluate whether he is the best candidate to win, stating, "I have to look at it to make sure that I'm actually going to be good at it." Family considerations remain a priority in his decision.
