The 2028 Democratic primary is already underway, with candidates quietly courting top campaign staffers. Despite being more than four years away, potential presidential hopefuls are thinking about where to base their campaign headquarters, with some finding it easier to choose a location if they're from a prominent city like Chicago or have existing connections in the area. For instance, Illinois Governor will likely locate their operation in Chicago due to its proximity and resources. However, those from smaller cities or states may face more challenges in assembling a strong team. Democratic strategist Jesse Lehrich notes that with thirty-plus people running for president, the scramble for top talent is expected to be intense.
