In this PJ Media article, Aaron Hanscom reports that veteran political analyst Mark Halperin now ranks 84-year-old Sen. Bernie Sanders as the number three contender for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination amid surging progressive influence.
- Halperin declared the toughest challenge in Democratic politics is stopping a socialist from securing the nomination following recent DSA primary victories and establishment accommodation.
- Sanders sits behind only California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Pete Buttigieg in Halperin’s July rankings, ahead of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Ro Khanna.
- Despite his age, Halperin notes Sanders demonstrates strong mental acuity and physical stamina, with major assets including name recognition, fundraising power, and strength in early primary states.
- Halperin believes Sanders would have won the nomination in 2016 and 2020 absent establishment interference, and a post-2024 vacuum could prompt another run.
- The party’s progressive “Mamdani wing” is stronger than ever, forcing establishment candidates to cater to it, while Sanders is viewed as authentically anti-establishment on issues like income inequality and healthcare.
- Halperin highlights internal party dynamics around Jewish candidates and anti-Israel sentiment, noting Sanders’ positions make him a “wild card” but potentially vulnerable to further radicalization.
- Kamala Harris has dropped sharply in the rankings due to doubts about her viability, while Newsom faces DOJ investigations and may sit out.
