There's a Surprise Leader in Polling for Next Democrat Presidential Nominee—and It's Not Kamala Harris

You’ve got a decision to make between some well-known figures: the often-discussed former Democrat VP and presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, the meme-worthy NY Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Illinois governor JB Pritzker, who may not be quite ready for the big stage, former vice presidential nominee and governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, California’s Gavin Newsom, known for some controversial decisions including allowing a male to compete in female high school track events. The list doesn’t end there.

So, which Democrat seems like the right choice? Currently, it appears to be former Transportation Secretary and South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg. (Oops, I just spilled coffee on my keyboard.)

According to a recent national poll, over 30% of Democrat voters favor Pete Buttigieg as their top pick for the 2028 presidential election. This puts him ahead of other key party figures like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and former Vice President Kamala Harris, as noted by Breitbart.

A new AtlasIntel poll has found that the former transportation secretary leads the field of potential Democratic candidates for the 2028 presidential election, garnering support from 31.5 percent of Democratic-identifying respondents.

The survey, conducted from May 21-27 polled 3,469 adults across the United States. The margin of error was not provided.

I’m having trouble writing because I am too busy laughing to type.
