Kamala Harris is a huge loser in new Dem straw poll as Ossoff leads
New York Post • • nation
Key Points:
- Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) won a 2028 Democratic straw poll at the Crooked Con progressive convention with 38% support, surpassing prominent figures like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Pete Buttigieg.
- Former Vice President Kamala Harris received only 0.6% support in the poll, indicating a significant drop in her 2028 appeal among this progressive group.
- Despite Ossoff's strong showing, he has publicly stated he has no interest in running for president in 2028, focusing instead on his Senate term.
- Ossoff’s rising profile follows his decisive 2022 Senate victory in Georgia and his moderate stances on key issues, such as opposing Medicare for All and the Green New Deal.
- While Harris and California Gov. Gavin Newsom have led early 2028 Democratic polls nationally, Ossoff’s recent success at Crooked Con reflects shifting preferences among some progressive voters.
