During a recent town hall, Rep. Jasmine Crockett and DNC Vice Chair Malcolm Kenyatta discussed the Democratic Partyâs 2028 presidential candidate prospects. Crockett revealed that many party donors are gravitating towards a "safe white boy" candidate instead of focusing on women or candidates of color, citing fears of losing elections. This sentiment stems from the party's history of electing women who have not succeeded. Both speakers underscored the importance of maintaining power and not yielding to traditional biases, particularly regarding gender in politics, especially against the backdrop of Trumpâs unique political influence.
Crockett remarked that discussions among party donors suggest a preference for "the safest white boy" candidate for the 2028 presidential race, reflecting fears about electability.
The conversation highlighted that many within the Democratic Party are hesitant to support women candidates due to past electoral losses, emphasizing a desire to win.
