“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”

Everyone’s wondering whom the Dems will put up in 2028. Including the Dems themselves. A lot of insiders still expect Gov. Gavin Newsom to emerge from the wreckage of California to be anointed with a crown of cash. I’m skeptical. Three years from now, no one will care about an ex-gov.

But right now polling Democrats turns up an even sadder possibility.

According to Echelon insights, current standings are:

Vice President Kamala Harris — 41%

California Gov. Gavin Newsom — 8%

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro — 7%

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg — 6%

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz — 6%

If you’re wondering, AOC is at 4%, Whitmer at 3% and Jared Polis, for some reason, at 1%, and Raphael Warnock at even less than that.

To be fair, it takes a while for the party to figure out who you’re going to vote for (no, that’s actually correct) and then convince you to vote for them, but it’s still a pretty sad situation on the board.

Gov. Newsom hardly places compared to 41% who want Kamala back. And while this poll shouldn’t be taken too seriously, you can bet it will put a smidgen of hope into Kamala’s pumps. After all her one great skill (except word salads) is fundraising. What’s another $2 billion for 2028?

Will we have Kamala to still kick around?
