AmericaFest attendees predict JD Vance, Josh Shapiro for 2028 election

Phoenix – If AmericaFest attendees’ predictions come true, the 2028 presidential election will potentially be a ruckus in the Rust Belt; Vice President J.D. Vance will be the clear favorite to replace President Donald Trump, and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro will surpass California Governor Gavin Newsom to become the most anticipated Democratic nominee.

Such a contest could also pit two younger figures, Shapiro, 52, and Vance, 41, against each other, while also potentially reshaping the idea of ​​a “blue wall” that Trump has torn apart in 2024, as Shapiro’s name recognition in Pennsylvania could tip the state back into the Democratic fold.

For his part, Shapiro recently dismissed any curiosity about a run for the White House, telling HBO’s Bill Maher that he’s “not an expert” on Beltway politics and that he lives it “live.”[s] “In the real world in Pennsylvania, we need to balance budgets.”

But that sentiment didn’t stop him from being seen as better suited for the role than the more gregarious Newsom.
