Ep. 2425 - Let Trump COOK
"According to this poll right now, she leads with 26% of the Democratic primary base. Pete Buttigieg clocking in second at 22%, Gavin Newsom at 21%, Kamala Harris at 13%."
A new Atlas Intel poll shows Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez leading the 2028 Democratic presidential primary for the first time at 26%, ahead of Pete Buttigieg, Gavin Newsom, and Kamala Harris. Shapiro argues this demonstrates the Democratic Party's continued leftward shift, with radicalism now being a feature rather than a bug. The poll marks a significant decline for Kamala Harris and suggests the party is embracing far-left candidates.
