Potential 2028er World Cup attendee leaderboard

Here are the likely 2028 presidential hopefuls who have attended a World Cup game so far: Shapiro: 2 matches Newsom: 1 match Harris: 1 match Rubio: 1 match And... according to at least one Democratic strategist, that approach may not be half bad. Matt Bennett, of the center-left think tank Third Way, told POLITICO more prospective 2028 candidates should embrace the World Cup. “The World Cup is fun and inspiring, with heroics, heartwarming storylines, and gritty underdogs. The US team is kicking ass. And Trump is ignoring it,” Bennett said. “Democrats should own it all - go to games, watch them in bars with fans, brag about our team, hang out with the Scots. Show the country that we’re normal, patriotic, and fun-loving.”
