Harris dominates in poll on who Democrats want as president - with AOC tied for third

Former Vice President Kamala Harris topped a new poll on who Democrats would back in the 2028 presidential primary if it was held today, with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) in third place.

Harris was backed by 36% of Democrat and Democrat-leaning voters in Morning Consult’s latest poll.

Harris had more than triple the support of former transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg, who was second with 10%.

Harris’s former running-mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, was also tied with Ocasio-Cortez at five percent, as was California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).

Billionaire Mark Cuban and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro were both next with four percent each.

At this point it's nothing more than name recognition. And of course everyone recognizes Harris. They either voted for her or voted against her.

Only person that I am against on that list is Gavin Newsom. Cuban and Shapiro don't even have a chance. No billionaire would have a chance on the Democratic ticket. Including Oprah if she ran. And she won't.

Newsom is close to being a moderate (Normal not fanatical) Republican. In fact, I can see the Lincoln project supporting Newsom.

Bernie I'm afraid is way too old.😔 So is Walz. Yeah I know Walz is younger than me. He looks far older than me. I don't have white hair. Nor do I dye it.

That just leaves three: Harris, Buttigieg and AOC.
