For those who think VP Harris can't win.

https://floridapolitics.com/archives/527669-kamala-harris-edges-out-ron-desantis-in-another-2024-poll/

A new survey testing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis versus Vice President Kamala Harris in a 2024 Presidential Election shows the Democrat slightly ahead of the rising Republican star.

A Harvard/Harris Poll shows Harris the choice of 41% of respondents, with DeSantis at 38% and 20% undecided.

This result is similar to other competitive matchups between DeSantis and Harris tested by the same pollster.

Harris commanded the support of 42% of those polled, with DeSantis the choice of 38% of respondents in the April survey. A February poll showed Harris the choice of 41% of those surveyed, with DeSantis at 39%. A January Harvard/Harris Poll showed DeSantis 1 point ahead, 40% to 39%.

In the current survey, DeSantis underperformed former President Donald Trump, the choice of 47% against Harris in a hypothetical 2024 faceoff, 7 points above the Vice President.

It's way too early to anoint anyone or give some one preference because of their current role.

Can you help me please?

I keep insisting that Conor Lamb is the one. But how to get people to stop asking Who?

Relying on polls too much is a losing game these days. Those in the habit should really stop.

However, Harris, one of the smartest, most erudite, most aggressive and energetic of the just-a-hair-off-mainstream Dem crowd, would be able to win. We’d have more years of racist rethugs making up vile fantasies about her, but that’s the way it goes.

9. This is about Harris vs DeSantis

There will be other republicans, but DeSantis will most likely be the one if trump does not run again.

Biden must of though this out when he picked Harris for VP, and I am willing to agree with his choice, as I would any of the others who ran and would have been the VP.

will he again mention, like he did in his last race, that a vote for his opponent will "Monkey Up The Election"?

10. If Biden doesn't run, I'll look at Harris, Klobuchar, and Buttigieg

It's pointless speculating at this point.
