- 0:08Speaker 1: today you will lead, and in the 8 o'clock hour,
- 0:10Speaker 1: we will follow potential presidential candidates because.
- 0:15Speaker 2: Now the midterms are over. The race has begun.
- 0:20Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of people, though, on the street of
- 0:21Speaker 3: New York City, like, what?
- 0:23Speaker 2: It just ended!
- 0:26Speaker 3: Stop with the commercials! And stop with the ads! But
- 0:31Speaker 3: now that midterms, midtowns, well, that's where I was.
- 0:34Speaker 4: But now that midterms are cooling down, things will start
- 0:38Speaker 4: heating up for the 2028 presidential election. Experts predict this
- 0:42Speaker 4: could be one of the most crowded and unpredictable races
- 0:46Speaker 4: when it comes to who's running and And.
- 0:49Speaker 3: For which party?
- 0:50Speaker 4: Of course, we're two years out, so obviously it's unpredictable now.
- 0:54Speaker 3: But it's early days yet.
- 0:56Speaker 4: Safe to say this election cycle doesn't yet have legs.
- 1:00Speaker 4: But who would the people like to see throw their
- 1:04Speaker 4: hat in the ring?
- 1:05Speaker 5: Michelle Obama.
- 1:06Speaker 6: Michelle Obama. I think she's smart. She's very articulate. She
- 1:12Speaker 6: knows the law. She has a Harvard degree.
- 1:15Speaker 7: Oh, I haven't even thought about it. We don't even
- 1:19Speaker 7: know if Trump is going to try.
- 1:21Speaker 4: Oh, God.
- 1:23Speaker 3: I'm sorry. I'm, like, really not, like, super knowledgeable about
- 1:27Speaker 3: that kind of stuff. Is it exhausting?
- 1:29Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:30Speaker 6: Yeah, honestly.
- 1:30Speaker 1: No, I don't care.
- 1:32Speaker 3: Why don't you care?
- 1:33Speaker 6: Because, I don't know, I don't feel like they care,
- 1:36Speaker 6: so I don't think I need to care.
- 1:38Speaker 5: One person. What, 28? So that's two years from now.
- 1:45Speaker 5: Hasn't been born yet.
- 1:47Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:48Speaker 2: What the hell was that last one?
- 1:50Speaker 4: That hasn't been born yet. So he really doesn't want
- 1:53Speaker 4: to commit.
- 1:54Speaker 2: Oh, okay. That's fine.
- 1:56Speaker 4: But he said the person who would be in office
- 1:58Speaker 4: hasn't been born yet.
- 2:00Speaker 1: Really?
- 2:00Speaker 2: They're going to be five?
- 2:01Speaker 8: I know.
- 2:01Speaker 5: I was like, well.
- 2:03Speaker 1: Notice how right out of the box, too, Michelle Obama,
- 2:06Speaker 1: where you get two for one. You get the prince.
- 2:09Speaker 1: Barack Obama, who's been there and Michelle. This is what
- 2:12Speaker 1: happened the last time.
- 2:13Speaker 6: Right.
- 2:13Speaker 2: Michelle Obama, Michelle Obama. She just did not want it.
- 2:17Speaker 2: This is why the Democrats have a problem because they
- 2:19Speaker 2: have to go all the way back to the Obamas
- 2:20Speaker 2: to find someone they like.
- 2:22Speaker 4: And that's even when I'm not doing man on the
- 2:25Speaker 4: street and we talk about potential presidential candidates, people love
- 2:28Speaker 4: Michelle Obama.
- 2:30Speaker 3: So it's definitely a name that always is circulating. She
- 2:33Speaker 3: wrote the book. She got the podcast.
- 2:35Speaker 2: The only person.
- 2:36Speaker 1: That the president, Donald Trump, both his candidate and president,
- 2:39Speaker 1: never criticized was Michelle Obama. That tells you something right there.
- 2:44Speaker 1: He knew how popular she was.
- 2:46Speaker 3: So there you have it.
- 2:47Speaker 4: But there's more to be had here because that doesn't
- 2:50Speaker 4: mean there aren't some potential candidates. Speculation includes, obviously, the regulars,
- 2:56Speaker 4: California's Gavin Newsom.
- 2:59Speaker 3: Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
- 3:02Speaker 4: And locally, though, people are wondering about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and
- 3:08Speaker 4: where she may land.
- 3:10Speaker 7: If she wants it, she can run, whether she wins,
- 3:12Speaker 7: you know. Yeah, she can try it.
- 3:14Speaker 8: Well, she's an impressive politician and she's an impressive person. And,
- 3:19Speaker 8: you know, it all depends on what she stands for.
- 3:22Speaker 8: And I think she stands for decent things. I have
- 3:27Speaker 8: some problems with certain things, but basically I think she
- 3:30Speaker 8: has a very strong chance.
- 3:32Speaker 5: AOC, I don't know enough about her. I know the
- 3:35Speaker 5: speeches well. Speeches are, sometimes I'm capable of speeches too.
- 3:40Speaker 2: Well, that's further support for her there.
- 3:43Speaker 3: A lot of people saying they're not really familiar with
- 3:45Speaker 3: her policies.
- 3:47Speaker 2: So I don't think she is right. It's morphing. Remember,
- 3:52Speaker 2: it was. Wait a second. That was the beginning. Woke one.
- 3:55Speaker 2: We're now into phase two. Woke two. Well, what the
- 3:58Speaker 2: hell is woke two? Well, when does woke three begin?
- 4:03Speaker 3: It's all a phase.
- 4:04Speaker 4: But I just love the way this guy said he's
- 4:07Speaker 4: good at speeches, too, because it's like, well, aren't we
- 4:09Speaker 4: all right? So now listen, Kamala Harris is. is also
- 4:14Speaker 4: on the short list of possibilities.
- 4:16Speaker 8: I don't have the same feeling about her.
- 4:18Speaker 3: And why is that?
- 4:19Speaker 2: Well, it all had to do with the policy towards Gaza, Palestine.
- 4:24Speaker 8: I think that's what really cost her.
- 4:26Speaker 2: No way.
- 4:28Speaker 5: Because she proved that she's not capable.
- 4:31Speaker 6: Camilla did her turn already. She had her chance already.
- 4:34Speaker 6: She had her chance, and if she was the pick,
- 4:36Speaker 6: she would have won the last turn. So she had
- 4:39Speaker 6: her fair chance already.
- 4:41Speaker 4: So voters not willing to take any chances given previous failures.
- 4:45Speaker 4: But there's talking in the Republican Party, right? Marco Rubio,
- 4:49Speaker 4: Ted Cruz, maybe J.D. Vance, current vice president. Do voters
- 4:53Speaker 4: think Republicans even have a chance following?
- 4:57Speaker 3: The blue tsunami on Tuesday.
- 4:58Speaker 6: I would love to see who it would be, but
- 5:00Speaker 6: I don't have a candidate in mind for Republican right now.
- 5:04Speaker 5: So far, I cannot see that. They prove it with
- 5:07Speaker 5: the president, the way they reacted to whatever stupid was
- 5:11Speaker 5: said every day.
- 5:13Speaker 8: I think the Republicans are in bad shape right now.
- 5:17Speaker 8: And I don't know, I don't know what it would
- 5:19Speaker 8: take to get them even back into being considered by
- 5:22Speaker 8: most people.
- 5:23Speaker 7: It's early on. I'm just glad that the midterms are over.
- 5:27Speaker 7: So we're taking a breath and.
- 5:29Speaker 2: We'll move on from there. He's saying to you, give
- 5:31Speaker 2: me a break. Right.
- 5:32Speaker 3: Somebody's like.
- 5:33Speaker 2: I'll tell you.
- 5:33Speaker 1: Two things that would propel the Republicans, either AOC, all
- 5:38Speaker 1: out crazy, or word salad Harris.
- 5:41Speaker 2: Then if you're the Republican, you're going to be in
- 5:44Speaker 2: the White House.
- 5:45Speaker 1: Guaranteed.
- 5:45Speaker 2: Harris is at the top of some of the polls
- 5:47Speaker 2: right now.
- 5:48Speaker 1: I know, but People have a bad memory of her,
- 5:51Speaker 1: and there's no way she can correct that.
- 5:53Speaker 2: It's just name recognition at this point. Someone else is
- 5:55Speaker 2: going to emerge. Somebody.
- 5:57Speaker 3: They're waiting in the wings to see. We have two years.
- 6:02Speaker 4: So like the last lady said, take a breath.
- 6:06Speaker 3: And then start from the top.
- 6:08Speaker 2: I'm glad you talked about this today. Natalie's going to
- 6:11Speaker 2: be back tomorrow at 7.50 because that's what we're talking
- 6:14Speaker 2: about next. Some people have already threw their hat in
- 6:18Speaker 2: the ring, kind of. We'll explain coming up after the
- 6:23Speaker 2: 8 o'clock news.
