Rob Flaherty / The Bulwark / 2026
Exhaustive first-hand Harris-campaign autopsy with concrete, self-critical 2028 strategy lessons; unmatched primary-source depth and durability.
2
It's Not the Economy, Stupid: The Ideological Foundations of White Working Class Republicanism
Sabato's Crystal Ball (University of Virginia Center for Politics)
Rigorous ANES regression falsifying the economic-grievance thesis; durable structural insight that directly reshapes how to read the 2028 coalition.
3
Which 2028 Democrats have the best electoral track record?
Nate Silver / Silver Bulletin (Substack) / 2026
Original SB Score methodology ranking 2028 Democrats by electoral overperformance; data-rich, transparent, and squarely about the race itself.
4
The Path to American Authoritarianism: What Comes After Democratic Breakdown
Foreign Affairs / 2025
Landmark competitive-authoritarianism framework defining the 2028 stakes; authoritative and durable, though the race is backdrop more than focus.
5
Democratic economic policy in the age of AI
Noah Smith / Noahpinion / 2026
Genuinely novel AI-era economic agenda (abundance, sovereign wealth fund, hiring subsidies); forward-looking and serious, more proposal than analysis.
6
How the Biden Administration 'Radicalized' Pete Buttigieg
Notus / 2026
Substantive frontrunner interview articulating an institutional-reform 'no going back' thesis; valuable primary-source 2028 record, but Q&A not analysis.

Well-sourced resolution of moderate-vs-fight (economics-fight, culture-moderate); solid but the oldest, and partly superseded by Smith's own later piece.
9
The 2028 Race Has Begun. Here's Who's Winning.
Politico Magazine / 2025-12
Comprehensive, witty both-party 2028 field scorecard; the best scannable map of the race, though the conceit favors breadth over analytic depth.
10
Project 2028
New York Times Opinion / 2026-02
An outline of items in a hypothetical 2028 Democratic Party platform designed to restore the party's strength.
