## Resource

Pete Buttigieg’s surging in the Democratic race with 18% support, ahead of Newsom and Ocasio-Cortez, while JD Vance narrowly leads Republicans at 36%, just above Rubio—who’s seen a massive 15-point jump since February. Neither candidate has officially declared, but Buttigieg hinted at running, and Trump called Vance and Rubio a “perfect ticket,” though neither has formally launched their campaigns. With 15% of GOP voters still undecided, this early poll paints a volatile, competitive field for 2028. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
