In the wake of Vice President Kamala Harris' embarrassing defeat on Election Day, Democrats have spent weeks pointing fingers and placing blame on everything under the sun.

However, now some on that side are already eyeing up the 2028 election, and some outlets, like The Hill, are ranking the potential lineup for the Democratic Party for the 2020 presidential election. 

To say their bench isn't that deep would be an understatement, as it's largely the same group of Democrats who specialize in making media appearances and not so much on their constituents.

Names like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, and even Vice President Kamala Harris made the publication's list.

What did they say?

The Hill listed off a handful of high-profile Democrats who might be interested in the 2028 ticket and were careful to say nice things about each one of them.

It hilariously even touted Pete Buttigieg as a potential candidate based on him being "comfortable" before "a large crowd" and on Fox News, even though he's one of the least effective and unlike Cabinet members in modern presidential history.

In recent days, AOC has made headlines on the left as a potential presidential candidate, and The Hill heaped praise on her as a possibility.

The Hill noted:

When Democrats talk about the future of the party, the 35-year-old New York congresswoman’s name always bubbles to the top.

Democrats have long been impressed with Ocasio-Cortez’s ability to “cut through the BS and tell it like it is,” the second Democratic strategist said.

The Hill suggested Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker as a potential candidate, though other than being rich, it's unclear what he might bring to the table.

The outlet touted his "legislative achievements," which apparently include raising the minimum wage in Illinois to $15, and signing "several reproductive rights bills," completely missing the point of why Democrats lost big this cycle.

Harris again?

Probably afraid to break ranks, The Hill suggested Harris could run again, which was great for a solid, hearty laugh.

The outlet noted:

Democrats say in many ways the race Harris inherited from Biden wasn’t the one she would have run if she’d been the candidate at the outset.

“In many ways, this was still Joe Biden’s race. Even though she was the nominee in the end, she still had a number of constraints, including the fact that she couldn’t maneuver to distance herself from him when she needed to,” one ally to the vice president said.

Meanwhile, conservatives would love if Harris would run again, as it would all but guarantee another GOP victory.

Only time will tell who they ultimately choose, but that's a long way off and we have work to do in the meantime.
