Democratic prospects for 2028 are looking alarmingly weak, according to the latest polling. Former Vice President Kamala Harris, once a frontrunner, has plummeted to just 13%, trailing failed Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg at 16% and California Gov. Gavin Newsom at 12%. A combined 35% of voters remain undecided—and none of the current contenders inspire confidence.
On Sunday’s episode of NBC’s Meet the Press, Democratic Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey refused to rule out a potential 2028 presidential bid, while delivering a familiar slate of progressive rhetoric on economic and healthcare issues.
