"Draft Garcetti"?

[P. Clodius Pulcher did nothing wrong]

Not sure if it's just me, but ever since Los Angeles got the 2028 Olympics, I have been followed (on Twitter) a bunch of "Draft Garcetti" accounts. These include https://twitter.com/FL4Garcetti (Florida for Garcetti), https://twitter.com/SFL4Garcetti (South Florida for Garcetti), https://twitter.com/CFL4Garcetti (Central Florida for Garcetti), and https://twitter.com/Miami4Garcetti (Miami for Garcetti)

It would be one thing if these were just a few state-based or major city-based accounts, but these are getting pretty specific. Does this show that theres a concerted effort to draft LA's mayor for President? And how much involvement do people close to Garcetti or Garcetti himself have in this effort?

Also, there's this:

I, for one, would be psyched to support him if he runs, he seems like a very able administrator, as well as someone with a good vision and broad appeal as a local leader.



What do you all think?

I really like Garcetti but I have doubts that a big city mayor would play well throughout the country - especially with the sanctuary issue.

It's a coordinated effort by a group of people who previously tried to draft Biden:

Hell no, almost as cringy as the Harris hacks.
