Who did the All-In election night guests pick as 2028 presidential contenders?

The All-In guests split widely on 2028. Ted Cruz named AOC, Gavin Newsom and Jon Ossoff as the top three Democrats, and David Friedberg said he has long expected AOC on the ballot. Tim Dillon put his money on Ossoff and said Cruz will never be president. Taylor Lorenz saw Cruz, Marco Rubio and JD Vance as the Republican front runners and doubted AOC. Ben Shapiro called Vance the presumptive Republican front runner and said he would buy low on Wes Moore.

• Cruz said an El-Sayed win in Michigan would make an AOC nomination more likely by undercutting the argument that she is too extreme.
• Shapiro said there is no next Trump and expects the next few nominees to come from elected officials, not celebrities.
