The poll, released on May 30 by Atlas Intel, found Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and former transportation secretary in the Biden administration, to be the top pick among Democrats who responded to the survey.
A total of 31.5% of self-identified Democrats who responded to the poll said they would vote for Buttigieg for president in four years, according to the poll.
Other surveys in May from firms such as Echelon Insights and McLaughlin & Associates have found Harris in first place in the hypothetical primary, making Atlas Intel’s poll stand out among the rest.
Harris is the third most popular pick among Democrats in the poll, falling behind U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.
It’s bizarre to characterize Gavin newsom as woke, but it’s also weird to vilify wokeness.
If woke were a binary spectrum, Pete is more woke than Gavin if for no other reason than because Pete knows better than to say that human rights are a “distraction”.
That said Pete is still a little too conservative for my taste. Gavin newsom is a non-starter though.
Picking him would be completely insane, like picking Kamala Harris or Hillary Clinton it seems like it would be obviously bad to anybody who cares about issues and stuff.
Given all of that, you’re probably right. They probably do pick Gavin Newsom.
