Well, not until January 2028 in any event. And your candidate for the next presidential election is?

@MartinII They need at least two: "candidates ... are" !

At least, I believe they still do.

@ArishMell Well, my point was, how can anyone be confident of a Democrat victory so early in the term and having no idea who the Democratic candidate might be. The identity of the Republican candidate will be relevant too, of course, but at least with the GOP there's already an informal shortlist.

@MartinII Well,of course they can't.

We see it with our own country's politics, when the pundits and gleeful winners of local elections seem to imagine the results will indicate that of the next General Election.

If the comparison holds further, then what we see here are effectively only local elections obviously significant for the locals; but not necessarily nationally at the moment, still less so for their next national elections.

I don't know how they do it, but there is still time for both of the two American parties to select their Presidential hopefuls.
