Several top names have been floated as possible contenders for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination.

But with that role seemingly wide open, the next national Democratic leader could be someone more under the radar.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) has become more prominent in pushing for the party to take a new direction following the election.

Polis and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker launched a nonpartisan state-level initiative last month called Governors Safeguarding Democracy .

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear was already seen as a rising star in the party after his reelection in 2023 .

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) sought political office for the first time in 2022 for his successful gubernatorial run, but his name has increasingly been floated.
