As the nation prepares for Trump’s inauguration, the political chessboard for 2028 is already taking shape, with key players positioning themselves for the next battle for the White House.
President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will attend President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration in January, fulfilling a pledge Biden made before the election. The announcement marks a significant moment in American politics, as Biden will witness the peaceful transition of power to his former rival.
Speaking to MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas, Biden reaffirmed his commitment. “Of course I am. The only president I avoided the inauguration of is the guy about to be inaugurated,” Biden said, referencing Trump’s decision to skip Biden’s inauguration in 2021.
White House spokesperson Andrew Bates underscored the importance of the Bidens’ attendance. “The president promised that he would attend the inauguration of whomever won the election. He and the first lady view this as an important demonstration of commitment to our democratic values and the will of the people,” Bates said.
Biden’s Chief of Staff Jeff Zients has already engaged in transition meetings with Susie Wiles, Trump’s incoming Chief of Staff, signaling a collaborative effort to ensure a smooth handover.
Harris Prepares for a Comeback
While Biden honors tradition, Vice President Kamala Harris is reportedly laying the groundwork for her political resurgence. Insiders suggest Harris is already eyeing a 2028 presidential bid, determined to reclaim her place on the national stage after a devastating loss in the 2024 election.
“She’s not going away quietly,” one Democratic strategist told DailyMail.com. “Of course, she’s going to try and run again. Kamala’s ambition is unmatched.”
Polls suggest Harris remains a polarizing figure. A Puck News/Echelon Insights survey shows her leading the Democratic pack with 41% support, yet 59% of Democrats say they want a fresh face to lead the party.
Political strategists acknowledge Harris faces significant hurdles, including criticism of her communication skills. “Even when she’s talking forever, she’s not really saying much at all,” one insider quipped.
Others point to her meteoric rise from district attorney to vice president as a factor in her struggles. “She’s never fully defined her own political identity. That lack of clarity has hurt her,” another strategist said.
Harris will turn 63 in 2028, an age some view as ideal for a comeback if Trump’s second term falters. However, insiders caution she’ll need to refine her messaging and rebuild trust within the party.
The Race for 2028 Begins
As Trump prepares to assume office for the second time, speculation is already swirling about the 2028 presidential race. Vice President-elect JD Vance has emerged as an early frontrunner, with SportsBettingDime giving him +300 odds to become the 48th president.
Vance, 40, is seen as a natural successor to Trump, with his populist rhetoric and appeal to middle America. “If Trump’s second term is successful, Vance will have a strong foundation to build on,” said a Republican strategist.
Other potential contenders include California Governor Gavin Newsom (+550), Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (+800), and media personality Tucker Carlson (+1400). Former First Lady Michelle Obama (+500) remains a wildcard in the Democratic field, though she has repeatedly downplayed interest in a political career.
Meanwhile, Harris faces long odds at +2500, tying with Oprah Winfrey and trailing Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, who many believe could have been a game-changing running mate for her in 2024.

Nitwit Harris should just pack it in , revel in her ill gotten millions and sit in California and wonder what if. Biden should go home to Delaware and sit in his basement and with his few staff that will put up with his tirade, watch the inauguration on TV.
