Democrat presidential hopefuls in 2028, such as Govs. Gavin Newsom and Josh Shapiro, are already defining their abortion-related messaging.
Newsom, who is widely considered a leading Democrat for the next presidential election, has in recent weeks taken a more heavy-handed approach on the controversial issue of abortion than other possible 2028 Democrat candidates, such as Govs.

Day said she took offense at Newsom’s response to the abortion pill litigation from Louisiana, calling his approach to the abortion debate “a little embarrassing.” “We’re deteriorating in a way where we can’t have conversations and talk to people anymore,” Day said. “You just drop the F-bomb, and that’s how you solve problems in the party, it seems.”a place for making reproductive rights less of a focus” for Democratic candidates in the lead-up to the 2028 election cycle. When asked if Newsom’s approach was too brash, Trent said he thinks Newsom’s highly aggressive opposition to anything President Donald Trump or Republicans support is not conducive to winning the White House. “I think you should definitely back your values, and I think you know, probably believes what he’s saying and doing, but I think that you should understand that America is in a different moment right now,” Trent said. Both Beshear and Shapiro have made clear that they support abortion but have tried to use more nuance in their approaches.at a Center for American Progress town hall last week that he sought not to alienate centrist Republicans in the wake of the overturning ofKentucky has one of the strictest gestational age limits on abortion in the country, not allowing exceptions for rape or incest. Beshear said his approach to abortion involves finding common ground with those on the opposite side of the aisle “because people don’t like extremism.” “When we’re willing to find that common ground and start talking from there, what you typically see is the discussion then starts getting into what’s a reasonable number of weeks, and so hopefully we can do that in states that have laws like ours,” Beshear said. Shapiro, in contrast to both Beshear’s cordiality and Newsom’s brashness, has taken a middle-ground approach during his gubernatorial reelection campaign as a precursor to a speculated 2028 run. Abortion is not as much of an active political debate in Pennsylvania as it is in Kentucky, since Democrats control both legislative chambers. The Commonwealth allows abortion up until 24 weeks of pregnancy. But Shapiro has made several statements on social media in recent months affirming his commitment to protect abortion access during his reelection campaign. Shapiro, who has largely steered clear of culture war problems in the purple Commonwealth, earlier this month said that, as governor, he will ensure abortion remains “safe, legal, and accessible here in Pennsylvania.” He issued a similar message on Valentine’s Day, saying that abortion is healthcare and he will “stand up to anyone who tries to get in the way of a woman’s right to make decisions about her own body — up to and including the President of the United States.”Day said, though she disagrees with their point of view on abortion, she wants the tactics of Shapiro and Beshear to win out in the lead-up to the next presidential election season. “I would hope that Shapiro and Bashearr remain as adults at the table, because I just feel like Newsom is just trying to get attention, like a little kid trying to get attention,” Day said.
