Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett says Democrats want the 'safest white boy' to run 2028 election

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett has claimed Democratic Party donors are already backing “the safest white boy” they can find for the 2028 presidential nomination , citing a growing fear within the party over running a woman again after recent defeats.

Speaking on SiriusXM’s *Urban View* during a town hall alongside DNC Vice Chair Malcolm Kenyatta, the Texas lawmaker said Democrats are still reeling from Kamala Harris’s 2024 loss and Hillary Clinton’s 2016 defeat and many now want to play it safe.

“It is this fear that the people within the party, within the primary system, will have about voting for a woman because every time we voted for a woman, we’ve lost so far,” Crockett said. “And I think that that’s a natural fear because we just want to win.”

She said that mindset is already shaping donor discussions around 2028: “So there’s a lot of people that are like, you know what, like let’s go find the safest white boy we can find. I mean, I’m just saying.”

She then revealed that major Democratic donors are already consolidating around one specific candidate. “I had a donor on the phones with me telling me that all the donors are lining up behind that candidate. And I can tell you it’s not a Black person nor a woman. Okay? So they have chosen. And when I say they…”

While Crockett didn’t name the candidate, she confirmed the choice is neither Black nor female. She added that this group of donors previously had strong opinions about Joe Biden.

As for Trump: “He’s not running again,” Crockett insisted.

Kamala Harris was elevated as the nominee after Biden withdrew from the race in July 2024 following a poor debate performance and mounting concerns over his age. Her defeat to Donald Trump has since led to soul-searching within Democratic ranks.

In the same segment, Crockett took aim at Trump, calling him a misogynist and vowing to fight back: “He still doesn’t know how to deal with me because if you punch me, I’m punching back.”
