A ride or die with Kamala Harris. I truly think she would win.

My second choice would be AOC.

My third choice would be Pete Buttigieg

That's who I want. I realize our party is very centerist and will likely pick a more conservative leaning Democrat like Kelly or Newsom.
I don't like it but I'll absolutely vote for them if they end up our candidate.
