Van Hollen Eyes 2028 Run

Senator Chris Van Hollen is quietly testing the waters for a 2028 presidential run, kicking tires in New Hampshire while signaling a desire to break free from Congress’s confines. His recent defense of Maine’s embattled Senate nominee, Graham Platner — who faced backlash over past social media posts and a tattoo with Nazi overtones — underscores his belief in redemption and second chances. Van Hollen, already eyeing a broader political stage, joins a growing list of Democratic governors like Newsom and Beshear as potential 2028 contenders, all aiming to shake up the party’s traditional power centers and reconnect with voters beyond Capitol Hill.
