-------///Beyond these national numbers, though, Harris performs particularly poorly in some state-level surveys. Take New Hampshire, for instance, the state that is currently third on the 2028 primary calendar (although they’re still threatening to go first anyway). In every poll of the Granite State so far, Harris not only trails Newsom and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, but Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D, NY-14) as well. According to June’s Saint Anselm College poll, only 4% of New Hampshire Dems are supporting Harris. /////Moreover, several surveys in Harris’s home state of California found Newsom far out ahead in the lead as Harris was left to contend with Buttigieg and AOC; sometimes finishing in second ahead of them, yet other times again ending up behind both in fourth place (although none of that polling is recent). Suffice to say, such results would be embarrassing for a former vice president and presidential nominee and suggest real vulnerabilities for any 2028 campaign. Some historical precedents for Harris’s situation In the history of American politics, there are relatively few comparisons we can make to the situation Kamala Harris finds herself in right now. Despite running for president in the last two campaign cycles, she’s yet to actually be tested in a primary contest, because she dropped out before voting started in the 2020 cycle and was anointed as the nominee in 2024.Fuelman » Today, 2:17 pm » wrote: ↑ Kamala Harris's campaign spent an estimated $1.5 billion during her hyper-compressed 15-week (107-day) presidential run.

I know the Democrats are just dying for a chance at another orange hair pony show. Time will tell.
