Sen. Elissa Slotkin said she would consider a 2028 presidential campaign if the Democratic field looks weak after the midterm elections, while emphasizing that her focus is on the midterms. She made the remarks during a trip to Iowa that included conversations with Trump supporters.
Slotkin told the Des Moines Register that she might consider running for president after the November midterm elections if she believes no other Democratic candidate is on the right path. She said the midterms are her current focus and that a presidential run would not have to be hers.
During a trip to Iowa, Slotkin also had dinner with supporters of President Donald Trump and asked about their presidential preferences. The article says several current and former Democratic politicians, including Gavin Newsom, JB Pritzker and Pete Buttigieg, have raised their national profiles through appearances in states with early presidential nominating events.
