In this segment from The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, Clay and Buck discuss the emerging landscape for the 2028 Democratic presidential primary with longtime Democrat strategist and former advisor to Bill Clinton, Doug Schoen. The conversation highlights a significant shift in polling, particularly in New Hampshire, where Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) has taken a surprising lead over other high-profile Democrats.
They analyze the potential field, noting the decline of Gavin Newsom and the consistent struggle Kamala Harris faces with certain voting blocks. The duo explores whether the Democratic Party will look for a "Trojan horse" candidate like Arizona Senator Mark Kelly or if the momentum will shift toward a progressive firebrand like AOC, especially with a potential endorsement from Bernie Sanders. The discussion emphasizes that while it is early, the primary schedule—specifically whether South Carolina or New Hampshire goes first—will drastically impact who emerges as the frontrunner.
