If Republicans weren't already enjoying the first couple of months of Trump's return to the White House, Friday brought yet another piece of news that was sure to get them excited about the GOP's future prospects of electoral success, as a new poll showed Kamala Harris holding a double-digit lead to be the Democratic Party's nominee in 2028.
We can't be that lucky, can we? According to The New York Post, Democrat voters may be more willing than expected to give Harris another shot.
The failed 2024 presidential nominee received 36% support from Democratic and Democratic-leaning independent voters in the early 2028 primary poll conducted by Morning Consult.
Harris, 60, has a stunning double-digit lead over her closest potential competitor, former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who garnered just 10% support from his party.
As baffling as it sounds, Democrats apparently liked what they saw from Harris in 2024 when she was soundly trounced by Trump.
Harris suffered a crushing loss to President Trump in November, losing the popular vote, the Electoral College, and every swing state to the Republican.
Her loss came despite raising more than a billion dollars from Democratic donors during her campaign.
The rogues' gallery of potential Democrat candidates has yet to show any signs of posing a threat to the former VP's chances of making another run.
Since her defeat, Harris has reportedly told allies to keep her political options open and she is believed to be mulling a run at the California governorship in 2026, in a bid to succeed a termed-out Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Newsom was among three possible candidates who received 5% support in the Morning Consult poll, the others being far-left 'Squad' Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who was Harris' 2024 running mate.
'Shark Tank' star Mark Cuban and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro — reportedly one of the finalists for Harris' veep in 2024 — both garnered a 4% backing.
New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker (3%), Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (2%), Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (2%), Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (2%) and Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar (2%) were among the Democrats receiving less than middling support in the poll.
Judging by Kamala's performance in 2024 and the other names listed, the poll numbers must come as welcome news to every Republican looking to throw their hat into the ring to succeed Trump in 2028.
Maybe even Kid Rock.
