Democrats enjoyed better-than-expected midterm results on Tuesday and may have seen glimpses of the party's next round of presidential contenders in the process.
While President Joe Biden insists he's running for reelection and Vice President Kamala Harris may be ready to rev up as well, there are several newer, younger challengers whose stardom brightened Tuesday night. Here are four of the most prominent.Gretchen Whitmer, 51, defeated Republican challenger Tudor Dixon in the key Midwestern battleground state of Michigan, winning a second term as governor by nearly 10 points.
In winning reelection amid a difficult political environment in a state that can tip presidential elections, Whitmer put herself in the 2024 conversation.Already a big name and flirting with 2024 ambitions, Gov. Gavin Newsom cruised to victory last night, beating GOP challenger Brian Dahle by 21 points.
He vowed to serve a full four-year term if reelected, a message intended to rebut speculation that he may be eyeing a run for the White House if Biden bows out. Despite never holding office before, Moore has emerged as a new voice in the Democratic Party, racking up a number of high-profile endorsements in his gubernatorial bid. His victory marks a win for Democrats, winning back party control of the governor’s mansion in Maryland for the first time since 2015.
