Despite losing to President-elect Trump\u2002<\/u><\/a>in the 2024 White House election, most Democrats want Vice President Harris\u2002<\/u><\/a>to be the party\u2019s 2028 presidential nominee, according to a new survey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The poll, released<\/u><\/a> by Puck News\/Echelon Insights, found that 41 percent of likely Democratic voters would vote for Harris to be on the top of the Democratic ticket in 2028. California Gov. Gavin Newsom\u2002<\/u><\/a>(D) placed second at 8 percent. Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro\u2002<\/u><\/a>(D), who was in the running to be Harris\u2019s vice president this cycle, garnered 7 percent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz\u2002<\/u><\/a>(D), Harris\u2019s vice presidential pick, and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg,<\/u><\/a> who ran for president in 2020, got 6 percent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris lost<\/u><\/a> the 2024 presidential election to Trump earlier this month. The president-elect won all seven battleground states, secured the popular vote and made inroads in some Democratic strongholds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the survey, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez\u2002<\/u><\/a>(D-N.Y.) received 4 percent support, ahead of three Democratic governors. Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer\u2002<\/u><\/a>got 3 percent. Both Illinois Gov. J. B. Pritzker and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear\u2002<\/u><\/a>were at 2 percent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sen. Cory Booker\u2002<\/u><\/a>(D-N.J.), who also ran in the 2020 Democratic Party primary, received 2 percent backing, according to the poll. Colorado Gov. Jared Polis\u2002<\/u><\/a>and Maryland Gov. Wes Moore\u2002<\/u><\/a>got 1 percent a piece. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 16 percent of respondents were unsure about their choice, while some 1 percent wanted someone else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other side of the aisle, Vice President-elect Sen. J.D. Vance (R) led the way with 37 percent when respondents were asked who they would pick in the 2028 Republican primary. Former 2024 GOP presidential candidates Nikki Haley\u2002<\/u><\/a>and Vivek Ramaswamy\u2002<\/u><\/a>got 9 percent each. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis\u2002<\/u><\/a>(R) was at 8 percent. At the same time, Sen. Ted Cruz\u2002<\/u><\/a>(R-Texas) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who Trump nominated to be his Secretary of State, garnered 5 percent each, according to the survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some 3 percent wanted someone else, while 18 percent were unsure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The poll was conducted from Nov. 14-18 among 1,010 likely voters. The margin of error was 3.5 percentage points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
