As Marjorie Taylor Greene faces exile from politics, a surprise Democratic ally just gave her the single greatest argument to run for president in 2028

November 24, 2025byadmin

Democratic Representative Ro Khanna just gave Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene the most powerful argument she could ask for to run for president in 2028. This is a huge development, especially since the Georgia congresswoman announced she will depart Congress in January following a very public falling out with President Trump. Khanna, who is a Democrat from California, actually believes the conservative firebrand has a real shot if she decides to throw her hat into the ring. Khanna himself is a potential 2028 candidate, which makes his assessment even more noteworthy. He told CNN’s The Source on Friday that he wouldn’t be surprised if Greene ran, and he thinks she is surprisingly well-positioned. Khanna said, “It would not surprise me if she runs in 2028, and I actually think she’s more in touch with some of the populism that fueled Donald Trump’s rise than Trump and Vance are these days.” That’s a massive statement coming from a Democrat and a potential rival, suggesting Greene has a deeper understanding of the grassroots movement than key figures currently leading the party. Khanna and Greene previously worked together on releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files This unexpected boost arrives right when Greene’s political future seems most uncertain. Her decision to leave the House in January marks the culmination of a very contentious relationship with President Trump that recently hit a breaking point. The fissure became public earlier this month when the president pulled his endorsement of Greene. According to President Trump, the rift began when he showed Greene polling data indicating she would have low support if she were to challenge Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff or run to succeed Republican Governor Brian Kemp in Georgia in 2026. The polling apparently suggested she wouldn’t fare well in the Peach State, prompting the president to distance himself. However, Greene denied that conversation ever took place. Last Sunday, she went on CNN and insisted that the decision not to run for higher office next year was entirely her own and wasn’t forced by the president’s polling data. While Khanna sees populist potential, not everyone is convinced Greene has a future in elected politics. Republican strategist Shermichael Singleton thinks Greene’s life in politics is totally finished. Singleton told CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday that he thinks Greene is likely looking for “some other opportunity, perhaps in the media ecosystem.” Even so, the fact that a prominent Democrat like Khanna sees her as more authentically populist than Vance or Donald Trump Jr. gives her a powerful, ready-made narrative if she chooses to run in 2028. It suggests that even if she is currently facing exile from the traditional political structure, her connection with the base might be stronger than the current numbers suggest. You can expect this unexpected Democratic support to be a central part of her argument should she decide to launch a campaign.

The Assassination Fan Base Once horrifying, the targeted murder of prominent people now comes with a built-in subculture and cheering section by Tod Lindberg

“We should also note that even “lone gunmen, acting alone” have to get their ideas about whom to target from somewhere. They, too, have social networks, which likely traffic in in-group suggestions about who in the out-group are the worst of the worst. So we are now living in a political culture in which a potential would-be assassin can count on a social network for inspiration and an outpouring of public support after the fact. This is fertile ground for evil, perhaps because assassins always believe they are doing good. And we may be cultivating more and more of them.” Eras creep in and taper off without clear demarcation; only in retrospect can we classify a single event as the beginning of one or the end of another. With the two assassination attempts on Donald Trump as well as the successful hits on United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson and conservative activist Charlie Kirk, we must now ask whether a new era of assassinations is upon us, an era comparable to the one that gripped the country between 1963 and the early 1980s. The assassination of JFK in November 1963 shocked America to its core. The America of 1963 did not need a “visual” to be shocked; it would be nearly 12 years before the public got a chance to see the “Zapruder film,” the grainy, black-and-white home movie of Kennedy’s last moments as his motorcade passed the Texas School Book Depository in Dallas and an assassin’s bullet tore through his skull. The mere notion that anyone might kill the president of the United States was itself borderline unthinkable-in a way, perhaps, even for those charged with the safety of the president. Riding in the back of a limo open to the air was as normal for presidents and politicians in its day as it has been unthinkable ever since. That kind of weird innocence persisted in the immediate wake of the assassination. The authorities quickly located the assassin and arrested Lee Harvey Oswald. They could not imagine that the open way they disclosed plans about Oswald’s movements in custody would provide an opportunity to a man with a gun and murderous intent to get so close. Photographers were on hand to capture Jack Ruby firing a single shot at close range. The best-known image of Lee Harvey Oswald is the one in which he is already dying-a split second after being hit, a stunned expression on his face and his mouth slightly agape. With a president and his assassin both dead, the conclusion of investigative commissions that Oswald was “a lone gunman acting alone” instantly had to vie with numerous other scenarios that emerged from elaborate chains of speculation. And does, to this day. We are used to writing off such speculation by invoking the term “conspiracy theory,” which is a way of dismissing those who challenge widely accepted accounts of the supposed facts of a situation. But throughout history, assassinations have more often than not been conspiracies. While some American killers-like “disappointed office seeker Charles Guiteau,” who shot President James Garfield because he didn’t get a patronage job-did the job themselves, John Wilkes Booth was not “acting alone” when he assassinated Lincoln, just as Brutus was the leader of a conspiracy to murder Julius Caesar.
