              Shapiro isn’t the only potential 2028 Democratic candidate adjusting to a political landscape increasingly shaped by AI-related concerns among voters. In California, Gov. Gavin Newsom is widely viewed as another top Democratic contender and has positioned himself as a major foe of President Donald Trump at the state level. Last year,

Some ideas in the mix include new job training for professionals and improving the social safety net.

              The same order also prodded California officials to study “universal basic capital,” a spin on the universal basic income proposal that powered tech 
executive Andrew Yang’s insurgent campaign in 2020. “This moment demands that we reimagine the entire system — how we work, how we govern, how we prepare people for the future,” Newsom said in a news release.

              Populist proposals are gaining traction on the left. On Monday, Sen. Bernie Sanders — a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate — said he’d soon release a plan to establish a sovereign wealth fund through a one-time, 50% tax on the stock of AI companies that would issue direct payments to 
Americans.

              When it comes to AI development, Republicans have broadly adopted a hands-off approach to regulation as the Trump 
administration prioritizes accelerating its development. It’s a more cohesive approach compared to Democrats who are more split on AI policy and how to tackle its disruptive effects.
