Despite leading most polls due to her name recognition, Harris&#8217;s support has dropped significantly, making room for other <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >potential candidates<\/a> such as California Governor Gavin Newsom, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. According to a recent McLaughlin &#038; Associates survey, Harris&#8217;s backing among Democrats fell from 36% in February to 25%, with Ocasio-cortez and Newsom tied at 9% and Buttigieg at 8%. On the Republican side, JD Vance leads with 31%, followed by Donald Trump Jr. and Ron DeSantis. The article also notes low enthusiasm for Elon musk&#8217;s idea of creating a third party to challenge the two major parties, with only 27% supporting the concept.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Kamala Harris sinking like a rock in 2028 race<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2146668\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Former Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Kamala-Harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Kamala Harris<\/a> is fast turning into dead weight among <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Democrats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Democrats<\/a> eyeing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/out-of-the-political-wilderness-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Out of the political wilderness? - Washington Examiner\">2028 presidential bid<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While leading in most polls because she is the most recognizable name among liberals, she is also sinking like a rock, opening the door to credible challengers, notably California Gov.
