“I do believe that Meghan is determined to find a place within the Democratic Party,” the American royal commentator Kinsey Schofield tells me. “It was reported in March that she met with senior Democratic officials to explore her options. Additionally, she has appeared alongside political personalities like Michelle Obama and Stacey Abrams during the ‘When All Women Vote’ voter registration event, and Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris during The 19th Represents 2020 Virtual Summit.”
Meghan, Kinsey Schofield says, “knows that you are who you associate with,” and is “purposely positioning herself alongside female, left-leaning leadership.” She is “incredibly intelligent and calculated when it comes to her career. She seeks out the right people and positions and abandons them once her circumstances change for the better.”
An experienced Republican campaign operative, speaking off the record, identifies two paths to high office for Markle. “One is using California as a stepping-stone. The other is jumping directly into the presidential hunt. If Joe Biden declines to seek re-election, she should simply decamp to Iowa, cultivate the common touch and try to persuade activists in the land of corn that she can revive the Obama model of combining vague progressivism with megawatt celebrity.”
