When I read all the hype being heaped on Kamala Harris’ lead in early polls for the 2028 Democratic nomination, I have to chuckle to myself. An ABC News/Washington Post survey in January 2003 found Lieberman leading the Democratic field with 27%. And let’s not forget, Harris obtaining the nomination in 2024 was a fluke; she didn’t compete in one primary or receive one primary vote. Gavin Newsom with a 2-to-1 lead in California among voters leaning toward voting in the 2028 Democratic primary. So have fun, Kamala Harris, enjoying your name-ID high while it lasts (although maybe a mite longer than your 107-day presidential effort).
