A new poll by Puck News/Echelon Insights reveals that Vice President Kamala Harris remains the favored choice for the Democratic Party’s 2028 presidential nominee, despite her recent loss to President-elect Donald Trump. The survey found that 41% of likely Democratic voters support Harris leading the ticket in the next presidential election.
California Governor Gavin Newsom ranked a distant second with 8% support, followed by Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro with 7%. Shapiro had been considered to be Harris’s running mate in the 2024 election.
Harris’s 2024 running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, tied with Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg at 6%.
Harris’s loss to Trump earlier this month marked a major setback for Democrats, as Trump captured all seven battleground states, won the popular vote, and made inroads into traditionally Democratic strongholds. Despite this, Harris has so far kept her influence within the party, even as it grapples with questions about its future direction.
The poll also tested support for other potential Democratic candidates. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) received 4%, edging out Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer (3%), Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker (2%), and Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear (2%).
Senator Cory Booker (D-N.J.), who ran in the 2020 Democratic primary, garnered 2% support, while Colorado Governor Jared Polis and Maryland Governor Wes Moore each received 1%.
A notable 16% of Democratic respondents were undecided, while 1% expressed a preference for someone not listed among the options.
On the Republican side, Vice President-elect J.D. Vance leads the pack with 37% support among likely GOP voters for the 2028 primary. Former 2024 GOP contenders Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy tied at 9% each, with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis following at 8%.
Senators Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Trump’s nominee for Secretary of State, each garnered 5%.
Like the Democrats, 18% of Republican respondents were undecided, while 3% said they would prefer another candidate.

Kamala Harris has only one outstanding quality:
She is a willing puppet, who can be relied upon to follow orders from people like: ex-President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, George Soros, the World Economic Forum and the big donors of the Democratic Party.
That why she is being considered as a future Presidential candidate.
It is not because of her accomplishments,
because she has ZERO accomplishments. NONE!!
Idiocy is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result
In other words the democrats are screwed
If domecRAT primary would be foolish enough to nominate מכשפה harris in 2028, she may have to face Nickey Hailey:- If that would be:- What could she possibly offer that Nickey Hailey cannot offer? since all this מכשפה is capable of touting is her gender & race.
They meet the definition of insanity
Kamala Harris did not do badly. She came with in a few percent, in spite of being forced to run the world’s worst campaign. The Democrats made a group decision to ignore Trump’s policy perspectives, to pretend the Democrat’s policy failings didn’t exist, and to spend 100% of the effort on demonizing Trump (and no, Trump is not a demon, he’s a deplorable populist – and that was Harris problem). Note that in spite of Harris, the Democrats gained in the House, and avoided a disaster in the Senate by winning four seats in states that Trump carried.
good news! this guarantees a republican victory in 2028!

The almost 50% of Americans who voted for Kamala Harris weren’t voting for her, but rather against Trump. Once you take him out of the equation, there’s no reason to think that she’d get anywhere near the same numbers next time.
she will probably run against J.D. in 2028
Do these stupid polls ever ask WHY they favor the person they would vote for?
