"A Politico survey of a Democratic presidential test ballot in California released on March 12 showed Harris trailing her friendly career-long rival Gavin Newsom by a 28 percent to 14 percent margin."
"Harris barely led Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (12 percent) and Pete Buttigieg (11 percent) in the poll."
"There's a lot of merited skepticism about a Harris re-do in 2028, aside from doubts as to whether she will even try it."
"Yes, she's doing relatively well in early 2028 polls, but a lot of that is probably due to name ID rather than a sober assessment of alternatives."
Kamala Harris, traditionally viewed as the 'Titular Leader' of her party, may face challenges in a potential 2028 presidential run. Historical precedent exists for losing candidates to secure renomination, but Harris has not won a contested nomination before. Current polling indicates she is trailing Gavin Newsom significantly in California, her home state, and is only slightly ahead of other candidates like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Pete Buttigieg. Skepticism surrounds her viability as a candidate, particularly given her past electoral experiences.
