It’s still way too early to have any predictive value, but AOC did give a couple of excellent, passionate speeches this week that got some media attention (don’t know if the poll was done before or after the speeches).

Rubio is sort of the winner by default- Vance simply has much higher negatives, as does De Santis.

We’re still at least 8 mos away from any declarations of candidacies.

I better start saving now- I didn’t expect AOC to run, but if she does, she will get my support.

(I still think she should run for Schumer’s seat in 2028, not president)
