NEW: Our 2028 big board just got bigger. UAW president Shawn Fain earns a spot as Mamdani’s backup plan if AOC doesn’t run, and Thomas Massie makes the board as an outsider longshot after moving to impeach Hegseth. Meanwhile DeSantis, Shapiro, Rubio, and Buttigieg are still jockeying for position. On this week’s Frontrunner, Emmet and Justin break down who’s surging, who’s falling, and why the Republican field is suddenly wide open.

Thomas Massie is on a revenge bender. After losing his primary, he's moved to impeach fellow Republican Pete Hegseth. Could the Kentuckian make some serious noise in 2028? We’re moving him up on the big board.

New: @JakeAuch will address potential 2028era this morning at What’s Next, saying: “To everyone who will compete in 2028 — which might also be every person in this room — I challenge you to: Tell us which ideas you’ll stop giving permission to, the ones that don’t work or defy common sense; Tell us which privileges you’ll confront, even when your donors or allies object. Tell us which opportunities you’ll promote so that every child can share in the American Promise. The voters did not tell Democrats that we get it. They told us that we get a chance. If we use it to show them a better future, they will help us build it.”
