I think a lot of people will run in 2028, which will be a competition to catch the eye and allow those who may be on your boat to accompany you by being thicker and thinner.” The New York Post reported that Drucker pointed out that he didn’t know he was “sure he was going to run,” but what would happen during this period, or whether Democrats would worry about her suffrage. Scott Bessent said Xi must think twice before doing so.

Then, he said, “If you are not going to choose AOC… then maybe go find someone who is very gentle, ‘optional.’”
