Former Vice President Kamala Harris is quickly being erased as the choice for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination as several other competitors start their race for the job, notably former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and liberal Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).
In its latest national test of the 2028 race, Emerson College Polling showed a dramatic plummet for Harris, from the lead at 37% just after the 2024 election, to a weak second place at 13% this month.
In first place is Buttigieg at 16%. California Gov. Gavin Newsom is third with 12%, followed by Ocasio-Cortez and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, who are tied at 7%.
