Poll: JD Vance and Kamala Harris Lead 2028 Primary Contenders
A recent survey conducted in May 2026 indicates that Vice President JD Vance and former Vice President Kamala Harris are the frontrunners for their respective parties in hypothetical 2028 presidential primaries. Among Republicans, Vance secured 40 percent support, significantly ahead of Donald Trump Jr. at 15 percent and Secretary of State Marco Rubio at 14 percent. Other notable Republican candidates, including Ron DeSantis and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., received single-digit support. On the Democratic side, Harris led with 38 percent, followed by California Governor Gavin Newsom with 16 percent, while Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Pete Buttigieg tied for third with nine percent each. The poll, which surveyed 3,612 US adults, aligns with previous data suggesting a favorable matchup between Vance and Harris for general election voters. Although neither has officially declared their candidacy, President Trump has hinted that his administration members, specifically naming Vance and Rubio, are likely successors. Meanwhile, Harris has publicly stated she is considering another presidential run. These findings highlight the current political landscape as both parties prepare for the next election cycle.
