Rising Star Dem Emerges as 2028 Presidential Favorite

Reuters Jon Ossoff is the new favorite to win the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028.

That’s according to Kalshi , where the Georgia senator has edged past Rep.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to be the favorite to win the nomination—a first for him on the prediction market.

The millennials remain neck and neck on the platform, with Ossoff, 39, at 18 percent and Ocasio-Cortez, 36, at 17 percent.

California Gov.

Gavin Newsom, 58, is in third place at 13 percent.

Ossoff rose from having just a 4.5 percent chance in February to officially pass Newsom and AOC on Thursday.

His odds steadily rose starting in June—around the same time Newsom’s big lead, as high as 36.7 percent in December, began to crater.

The three frontrunners are followed by last cycle’s nominee, Kamala Harris, who sits at nine percent; former DOT Secretary Pete Buttigieg at 5.2 percent; Arizona Sen.

Mark Kelly at five percent; Pennsylvania Gov.

Josh Shapiro at five percent; and Kentucky Gov.

Andy Beshear and ex-Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel, who both sit at 3.5 percent.

Unlike AOC, who has not ruled out a White House run, Ossoff has explicitly said he does not intend to run for president in 2028.

CNN’s Manu Raju asked him about the growing buzz around a presidential run in June.
