Kamala Harris leads her closest potential 2028 Democrat presidential contender by 33 points, according to polling from Echelon Insights.
Here’s the breakdown:
- Vice President Kamala Harris — 41 percent
- California Gov. Gavin Newsom — 8 percent
- Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro — 7 percent
- Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg — 6 percent
- Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz — 6 percent
On one side of the scenario, you can see why Democrat voters still support her, even after her decisive loss to President-elect Donald Trump two weeks ago. She still has the best name recognition. She’s been vice president for four years. She never worked at McDonald’s. She received 74 million votes. You can also argue that with only a little over 100 days to pull a campaign together, she did pretty well.
