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.

    I’ve seen interviews with him, I think definitely don’t think he’s an establishment Democrat. Him with AOC as VP would be a progressive ticket, at least as far as the US would go.

        That’s a stretch there. He consulted for Loblaws on behalf of McKinley for about 6 months almost 20 years ago, and hell knows, they weren’t bringing some outside junior analyst (he was in his 20s) in on the bread price fixing scheme they’d been running for 15 years already.

        This is some conspiracy level shit.
