2028 Democrat Hopefuls Descend on Munich

_WHAT’S HAPPENING_

Multiple Democratic presidential hopefuls descended on Munich this weekend for the Security Conference, including Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI), and Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ).

What distinguishes this gathering is that the Democrats are using a global stage to directly attack President Trump's foreign policy in front of world leaders and international officials. Once considered a boundary that transcended partisan politics — the unwritten rule that criticizing a sitting president abroad undermines US credibility — this strategy is now being used as a soft launch for their possible presidential campaigns.
