When it comes down to choosing a Democratic leader, you have options like the Queen of Emptiness and Word Salads, VP and former Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, the internet-famous NY Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the not-so-ready-for-primetime Illinois governor JB Pritzker, the tough-on-the-outside-but-not-really former Democratic vice presidential candidate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and the California Governor Gavin Newsom, known for steering his state in the wrong direction while allowing a male athlete to outshine the girls in the high school track and field competition.
So, among this diverse lineup, who stands out as a potential choice for a good Democrat? Well, it seems that for now, the spotlight is on former South Bend, Indiana Mayor and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. (Just when you thought you had seen it all.)
A recent national poll indicates that over 30% of Democratic voters are rooting for Pete Buttigieg to be their top choice for the 2028 presidential election, placing him ahead of well-known party figures like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from New York and former Vice President Kamala Harris, as per a report 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.
