Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego has been making waves at the Iowa State Fair, where he received enthusiastic support from hundreds of attendees as he rallied Democrats against Trump’s tax bill. His visit, part of a broader strategy to boost Democratic engagement ahead of the 2026 elections, has also sparked discussions about a potential presidential run in 2028. While Gallego has avoided outright declarations about his 2028 ambitions, his presence in Iowa and the alignment of his messaging with key Democratic priorities has added to the buzz surrounding his political future. He emphasized the need for the Democratic Party to retool its message, aiming to empower local activists and energize the party base amidst challenges from Republican policies.
