Democrats Favor Kamala Harris For VP By Wide Margin, Poll Finds [View all]

A new poll found that a plurality of Democrats would like to see former Vice President Joe Biden pick Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) as his running mate, while a majority named a woman of color as their preferred VP amid nationwide protests against racism and police brutality.

The poll of 2,240 Democratic primary voters, conducted by Monmouth University between June 1 and June 9, found that 28% said they would like to see Biden pick Harris, who previously challenged Biden in the presidential primary but dropped out before Iowa and endorsed him in March.

Biden’s other primary opponents were also popular, with Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) preferred by 13% and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) preferred by 12%, despite recent bad press about Klobuchar’s criminal justice record and reports that she’s fallen out of favor with the Biden campaign.
