Gallego's NH Visit Fuels 2028 Presidential Speculation

Senator Ruben Gallego, an Arizona Democrat, is set to visit New Hampshire in August, sparking speculation about his potential 2028 presidential run. His agenda includes a 'Politics & Eggs' event at Saint Anselm College, a town hall with Rep. Maggie Goodlander, and campaigning with Rep. Chris Pappas, who is running for the U.S. Senate. The visit comes amid the Democratic Party's ongoing debate over New Hampshire's primary status, with state officials resisting the DNC's push to remove its first-in-the-nation role. Gallego's team highlights his commitment to engaging with voters nationwide and supporting working families. Although he states he is not currently running for president, Gallego admits the possibility has crossed his mind, and his visits to other early primary states like Iowa add to speculation. Local Democrats view these visits as affirmation of New Hampshire's continued influence in the primary process.
