2028 Dem frontrunner beating Kamala Harris has 0% Black support, poll finds
It's still years away from the 2028 Democratic presidential primary but a new poll finds that voters don't see Former Vice President Kamala Harris as their top pick. A poll from Emerson College released Friday found that former South Bend Mayor and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is the number one choice for Democratic primary voters in a hypothetical race. Among respondents who identify as Democratic primary voters, 16% said that they would support Buttigieg, while 13% said they would choose Harris as the nominee. But the poll identified a potential problem for Buttigeig when Primary time comes around: he had 0% support from Black voters. This isn't the first time Buttigieg has led a 2028 poll of Democratic candidates. A poll released by Atlas Intel on May 30 found Buttigieg as the top candidate among Democratic primary voters. The third most popular pick for Democrats is Gov. Gavin Newsom of California, at 12%, followed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY, and Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, at 7% each, according to the poll. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-VT, who ran and lost in both the 2016 and 2020 Democratic primaries for president ranked fifth, with 5% of voters saying they would support the 83-year-old senator. While the Emerson poll finds Buttigieg as the front-runner in a hypothetical matchup, the largest group of Democrats polled — 23% — were undecided about who they would choose to run for president. The candidate who polled best among Black voters is Kamala Harris, with 30.1% of respondents indicating their support for her, according to the poll Harris also performed well among voters with a high school education or less, with 23.9% of voters in that category backing her — more than any other Democratic candidate. Buttigieg, meanwhile, performed best among white voters (22.1%) and college graduates (20.1%). He also led among voters who have a vocational/technical school education (12.7%), among those with an associate degree (18.5%), and among those with a postgraduate education or higher (12.7%) In terms of Black voters, the poll found Buttigieg earning 0% support. Newsom, the third most popular pick among Democrats, did best among Latino voters (21.1%) and Asian voters (13.4%), according to the poll. Buttigieg also performed best among middle-aged voters. He was the favorite among voters aged 40-49 years old (15.2%) and those aged 50-59 years old (21.2%). He was also popular among voters aged 70 and older (20%). Among voters aged 60-69, Newsom was the leader, with 18.3% of respondents in that age range supporting the California governor. Among voters aged 18-29, Ocasio-Cortez was the most popular choice, with 22.7% of voters backing the New York congresswoman. Harris was the most popular among those aged 30-39, with 18.7% saying they would back her in a presidential campaign. The Emerson College poll was conducted from June 24 to 25, 2025. There were 404 people who answered the questions about Democratic candidates.

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro among leading candidates in 2028 presidential poll
(WHTM) – Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is among the top Democratic Party candidates for president in 2028, according to a new Emerson College Polling survey. The poll of over 400 Democratic Primary voters nationwide showed Shapiro with 7% support, tied for fourth among a crowded field of potential candidates. Josh Shapiro responds to 'noise' regarding potential 2028 presidential bid Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg led the poll with 16%, followed by former Vice President and 2024 presidential nominee Kamala Harris at 13%. California Governor Gavin Newsom came in third at 12%, and Shapiro tied with New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at 7%. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer each received between 3-5% support. Five candidates received 2% or less, and another 2% said they were undecided. Twenty-three percent of Democratic Party voters said they were undecided, with candidates unlikely to declare for at least two more years. Shapiro, a one-term governor in a critical swing state, has long been suggested to be a candidate for president. He was also a finalist to be Kamala Harris's running mate in 2024. House Democrats targeting 35 Republicans in 2026 Shapiro faces re-election in 2026 with Republican Congressman Dan Meuser, Treasurer Stacy Garrity, and State Senator Doug Mastriano all saying they are considering a run. A plurality of Republican primary voters surveyed in the Emerson College poll (46%) support Vice President JD Vance to succeed President Donald Trump in 2028. Secretary of State Marco Rubio received 12% support, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis received 9%, and 5% said they'd support Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ECP_National_6 Methodology The Emerson College Polling national survey was conducted June 24-25, 2025. The sample of U.S. active registered voters, n=1,000, has a credibility interval, similar to a poll's margin of error (MOE), of +/- 3 percentage points. The data sets were weighted by gender, education, race, age, party registration, and region based on U.S. Census parameters and voter file data. It is important to remember that subsets based on demographics, such as gender, age, education, and race/ethnicity, carry with them higher credibility intervals, as the sample size is reduced. Survey results should be understood within the poll's range of scores, and with a confidence interval of 95% a poll will fall outside the range of scores 1 in 20 times. Data was collected by contacting a voter list of cellphones via MMS-to-web text (list provided by Aristotle) and an online panel of voters provided by CINT. Panel responses were matched to the Aristotle voter file using respondents' full name and ZIP code. The survey was offered in English. All questions asked in this survey with the exact wording, along with full results, demographics, and cross tabulations can be found under Full Results. This survey was funded by Emerson College.

Kamala Harris sees support drop in potential 2028 horserace: Poll
Support for former Vice President Kamala Harris in the theoretical 2028 presidential horserace has dropped in new polling as she weighs her next political steps. A new Emerson College Polling survey found Harris in second place among a field of potential 2028 Democrats, with 13 percent of Democratic primary voters. She lagged slightly behind former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who was at 16 percent. The biggest share of Democratic voters, 23 percent, said they were still undecided. Just a hair behind Harris was term-limited California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), with 12 percent. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) rounded out the top five possible contenders, with 7 percent each. The latest numbers are significantly different from Emerson's November survey, when respondents were asked to write in their preferred 2028 candidate. Taken a couple weeks after the 2024 election, Harris received 37 percent support, followed by Newsom with 7 percent, Buttigieg with 4 percent and Shapiro with 3 percent. Another 35 percent were undecided. On the heels of her loss in the 2024 presidential race, speculation is swirling about Harris's next moves. She's reportedly giving serious consideration to a run for governor in California, which she previously represented in the Senate and served as state Attorney General. The suspense has had a freezing effect on the gubernatorial field, and she's said to have given herself an end-of-summer deadline to decide whether to jump in. At the same time, early 2028 polling has repeatedly shown Harris as a Democratic frontrunner if she were to lodge another bid for the White House. A run for the Golden State governor's mansion could take a 2028 presidential campaign off the table, but she's reportedly considering all her options. 'I'm not going anywhere,' Harris said at a leadership summit for Black women in California this spring. Across the aisle, the poll found Vice President Vance with a clear lead among potential Republican contenders for 2028, with 46 percent support from GOP primary voters. Just 17 percent were undecided. Next up were Secretary of State Marco Rubio with 12 percent and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), who ran against Trump in 2024, with 9 percent. On a generic 2028 presidential ballot, voters were split between the two major parties, with 42 percent each backing the generic Democratic candidate and the generic Republican. Another 16 percent were undecided. Independents broke for the generic Democrat 37 percent to 29 percent, with 34 percent undecided. Conducted June 24-25, the poll surveyed 1,000 U.S. active registered voters and had a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Comedian Andrew Schulz claims Harris campaign 'blatantly' lied about setting up a podcast interview
Comedian and podcast host Andrew Schulz accused the Harris campaign of "blatantly" lying about his team not reaching out to them during the election on Saturday. In an interview with the New York Times' "The Interview" podcast, Schulz described his efforts to reach out to Democrats like Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to appear on his "Flagrant" podcast during the 2024 election. He claimed the Democrats not only rejected him but accused his team of being "podcast bros" who were "sexist, bigoted and racist." Schulz said he tried to set up an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris as well, but her campaign "blatantly lie[d]" and said he did not reach out. "It's wild to blatantly lie when not only did I reach out — Charlamagne, who's working with them, reached out," Schulz said. "Mark Cuban, who's a surrogate, reached out, and we reached out, and they blatantly lie. "Then when people write articles about it, they'll say, 'Andrew says he reached out to Kamala, but we reached out to the Kamala people, and they said that never happened.' So what is the reader supposed to interpret that as?" He added, "I think it's an indictment on me, because it's almost like calling me a liar." Fox News Digital reached out to Harris, Charlamagne and Cuban for comment. Schulz acknowledged that he has since spoken to progressive figures like Buttigieg and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. He believed the reason was that prior to the election, Democrats felt that they didn't need to go on podcasts like his to reach voters. Schulz and his "Flagrant" podcast interviewed President Donald Trump during his campaign in October. He said after the interview he felt Trump went from having "no chance" of winning the presidency again to "winning by a landslide." Also on The Times podcast, Schulz described himself as a lifelong Democrat who voted for Trump. "[M]y vote was more like I voted against a Democratic institution that I feel was stripping the democratic process from its constituents. I didn't like the way things were going, and Kamala was saying, Yeah, we're going to keep doing that," he said.

Newark Airport passengers face lengthy delays due to staffing shortages
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on Friday afternoon announced delays at Newark International Airport (EWR) after its Traffic Management Program went into effect due to staffing. The program is in effect for traffic arriving at Newark Airport, according to FAA officials. Some arriving flights are delayed an average of over an hour and a half. The delays come amid nationwide air traffic controller shortages and Newark-specific mishaps in recent months. In May, the FAA issued a ground delay for EWR due to staffing shortages, weather and construction issues after a report found air traffic controllers briefly lost radar and radio signals. Nationwide, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the FAA is down 3,000 controllers. "We might have some shortages of air traffic controllers," Duffy told Fox News' Steve Doocy in May. "You know that we had telecom issues in Philadelphia, or in Newark, out of the Philly TRACON. So those factors all come into play. … A lot of the questions that come though — is it safe to fly? And of course it is. We have so many redundancies in place, but we have to fix the system." Air traffic controllers from other airspaces cannot be brought in to relieve the shortage because they need to be trained in Newark's airspace. While there are more than half a dozen new controllers in training at EWR, training and certification can take six months to a year. "Again, I can't just snap my fingers and fix the problems that Pete Buttigieg and Joe Biden left for me," Duffy said. Less than a month ago, the airport reopened one of its runways ahead of schedule, decreasing disruptions. Runway 4L-22R, which was fully closed for about a month, reopened in May—with limited closures continuing on weeknights through December, and on weekends, September through December. Two remaining runways, 4R-22L and 11-29, remain available for use throughout the closure periods, pending weather disruptions.
