California voters are resoundingly rejecting former Vice President Kamala Harris as a possible 2028 presidential contender — while Gov. Gavin Newsom faces an uphill battle, according to a new poll.
Harris trailed behind Newsom, as well as New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, with just 9% of voters in her home state saying she would be their first choice for the Democratic nominee, according to a poll released Friday by the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies.
Newsom leads the pack with 28% of voters naming him as their top choice — however, receiving support from only roughly a quarter of those in the Golden State is worrying, Mark DiCamillo, director of the Berkeley IGS Poll, told the Los Angeles Times.
