## Key points

- Ossoff topped a progressive convention’s 2028 straw poll with 38%.
- Harris received 0.6% of about 1,000 votes.
- Ossoff has said he does not plan to run for president.

## Summary

Senator Jon Ossoff led a straw poll of possible Democratic 2028 presidential nominees at the Crooked Con progressive convention, while Kamala Harris received little support. The result suggests some attendees favour Ossoff, though it reflects a small, politically engaged group rather than the wider electorate.

About 1,000 votes were cast: Ossoff received 38%, followed by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on 17% and Pete Buttigieg on 14%; Harris received 0.6%. Ossoff has said he has no interest in running for president and intends to serve a full Senate term. In the latest RealClearPolitics polling aggregate cited in the article, Harris led with 21.8%, while Ossoff was fifth on 10.8%.
