This thread is about the future and not the past.
Who would you like to see at the national level for the Democratic Party? Remember, John Kerry's failed election paved the way for the Obama Administration. What potential Obama type folks are ready for a move upward, former V.P. Harris among them?
FUTURE!

Ability to get information across effectively is way up there for me.
Ability to aggregate money too.
Standing for us, somehow managing to have a backbone in spite of the corrupt system of campaign finance weʻve allowed to control everything for now.
Ability to persuade.

Pete Buttigieg must be on any short list but I fear -America wont vote for anyone from the gay community if we couldnt even get two of the finest women contenders across the finish line.
Love AOC but this isnt her moment (yet). America wont vote for a woman atm.
Senator Von Hollen landed on my radar after going down to get Abrego Garcia out of CECOT and into a more humane prison.
