An ex-Democratic insider says internal Democratic polling ranked Vice President Kamala Harris last among potential replacements if President Joe Biden were to step aside. Lindy Li, who previously worked within Democratic politics, made the claim that the survey placed Harris below other figures considered possible successors.
The outlets reporting the story focus on what they describe as a “secret” or private poll and its implications for how Democrats weigh candidates for a potential transition. However, the reporting provided here centers on Li’s account rather than publishing the full poll methodology, sample size, or sourcing of the data. As a result, the available coverage does not independently verify the poll’s details or show broader confirmation from other Democratic officials.
With only this account cited, there is limited context on whether the polling reflected short-term political dynamics, specific assumptions about electability, or a particular time frame. Other aspects that typically accompany such reporting—such as the full list of candidates and their exact rankings—are not included in the provided material.
