That would be nice but the truth is many of the likely Republican
candidates will just try to run as Trump 2.0. Not that any seem likely
to succeed but they are likely to see that as their best opportunity
to win the election. I'm not sure what the Democrats will do as the
only one that would run if he could and have a strong platform is
Bernie Sanders (yes, I know he is officially an Independent) , but he
will clearly be too old to run at that point. I don't see AOC making a
run for the Presidency then so I'm unclear who else is likely to step
up in a 2027 campaign.

I heard an analyst earlier today saying that Sanders wasn't running
for President in 2028 (he knows he's too old to do so) but for the
right to anoint his chosen candidate which the commentator expected to
be AOC.

Can you imagine the attack ads that would be run against her
containing nothing but 25 seconds of her film clips followed by 5-10
seconds of "Do you want this? Vote for <whoever the GOP candidate
happens to be>"

I don't see AOC running for President in 2028, but based on what I've
been seeing of her in the past year she's better than either Biden or
Trump. I expect she would either continue to stay in the House or run
for the Senate when the position next becomes available. She may end
up running for President eventually but that likely won't happen for
at least a decade.
