Define Christian please?
Not Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist or Hindu. Performative Christianity is fine.

I couldn’t name all the religions but atheists are definitely off the list.I don't see anything against atheists!

Doesn't matter. The candidate need only profess that he is one.

Not entirely true. He'll have to have attended a fairly mainstream church, even if he didn't attend regularly.
And be familiar with Two Corinthians.

I assume this is a rule that Trump is exempt from?
Name them.
The Kentucky guy. The Kentucky “nepotism” guy (I know it’s not nepotism; he doesn’t win in Kentucky without who his Daddy was).
Who else?

He was connected to First Presbyterian in Jamaica, Queens and Marble Collegiate Church throughout his life.
I don't think there's much evidence of attendance as an adult, but the affiliation is what matters.
Reagan was as well. He almost never attended a church - pre-POTUS Candidate, POTUS candidate, pre-POTUS, as POTUS, post-POTUS.
Reagan was being thoughtful - he didn’t want to interfere with other people’s religious worship.
There are about 30,000,000 of them. I'll take any. And I'll open it up to any state that is not Cal, Ore, Wash or New York (but bonus points for NC, Ga, PA, Wisc or MI).
Your words…..
Southern white male, heterosexual Christian from the South or Mid-West.
Who are those candidates? Must be dozens of them with huge war chests ready to go.
I’ll gift you Pennsylvania - it’s definitely not Southern and it’s not Midwestern.
The only candidate coming out of PA in 2028 is Jewish, not Christian.
Who saw Donald Trump in 2013? Past is not prologue and we are not forced to pick candidates who are well known in 2025.
Correct.
Who among Southern/Midwestern “Christian,” heterosexual white males who are likely to run as Democrats have the name recognition Trump had in 2015?
Which ones have been baiting the Democratic base for 7-10 years as Trump baited the MAGA base with claims that Obama isn’t an American?
Jeff Jackson is not catching fire and becoming the 2028 Democratic nominee.
Marc Cuban is 67 TODAY. Jon Stewart is a 62-year-old Jewish Yankee.
Who are the 30 million white Christian males from the South/Mid-West who are candidates for POTUS?

Funny you mention Jeff Jackson. NY Times just did a profile of him last week. He’s got over 2 million followers on TilTok and a million on Instagram.
Seems like he’s starting to catch fire a bit. Probably more suited for governor first, but ya never know.
The Secret to One Swing State Democrat’s Rise? Wonky TikTok Videos.
Jeff Jackson was elected to attorney general in North Carolina the same year that President Trump won the state for the third time. Supporters see lessons for Democrats in Mr. Jackson’s rise.
