I’m shocked Van Hollen isn’t on the list at all, that’s a real dark horse. I interpreted his trip to El Salvador as both genuine and with an eye on the White House. I feel like he’s a good candidate for them in that he’s still 100% establishment but has a few aspects to him that don’t make him seem like a totally soulless ghoul. He actually did something against the Trump admin beyond tweeting out “this isn’t normal”.
Pritzker below The Rock, Stephen A and Jon Stewart seems really weird. I think he has presidential ambitions and his style (combatative, compared to other Dems at least) I think will make him really popular.
AOC #2 behind Newsom is incredible, if there’s one stonk I wish I could short it would be that one. Ignoring her politics, she really seems kinda bad at retail politics. I think other seasoned Dems will drink her milkshake. She’s like Kamala in that she might look good on paper but when the spotlight is on her she folds.
I despise Whitmer and Shapiro but they should both be higher, like in the top 5 with Newsom and Pritzker.
Also WTF happened to Walz? I think if the Harris campaign didn’t muzzle him they might have actually pulled off a win. He’s not on the radar at all?
Edit: Beshear is like a younger Walz. He’s definitely running and I can see him getting a lot of vote share from the base. I would round out my top 5 with him. I think it says something that it’s mainly governors near the top and Senate dems are largely absent. Schumer is such a dogshit leader.
Isn't Pritzker the only government official who said he'll actually use the police or military to fight off ICE? That's good shit and what we've been begging Democratic politicians to do. He definitely deserves to be much higher.
These numbers are so weird. Where do they get them from?
You underestimate the amount of propaganda we get out in the Midwest about how full of violent crime Chicago is. It's incredibly influential on the kinds of older very online liberals that these polls are likely based on.
I always forget that everyone thinks Chicago looks like those Escape from New York or Escape from Los Angeles movies.
