Ever wonder why Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy's frequent appearances on Sunday morning talk shows and his warnings about "threats to democracy" and "fascism" aren't exactly setting the world on fire? It turns out you aren't the only one tuning this out.
In a recent deep dive for The Silver Bulletin, data guru Nate Silver ranked the 18 top contenders for the 2028 Democratic Presidential nomination. Murphy didn't just miss the top tier—he anchored the very bottom of the field at number 18.

(1) Newsom, (2) Ocasio-Cortez, (3) Buttigieg, (4) Gretchen Whitmer, (5) Ruben Gallego, (6) Josh Shapiro, (7) Wes Moore, (8) Harris, (9) Cory Booker, (10) Raphael Warnock, (11) Jon Ossoff, (12) Mark Kelly, (13) Jon Stewart, (14) JB Pritzker, (15) Andy Beshear, (16) Ro Khanna, (17) Amy Klobuchar, (18) Chris Murphy.
