CNN senior political data reporter Harry Enten marveled on Friday at how the Democratic Party has not only failed to find a new leader, but continues to disappoint voters.
CNN News Central host Kate Bolduan spoke about former Vice President Kamala Harris breaking her recent silence by speaking in a lengthy interview with late-night host Stephen Colbert, Thursday. Bolduan observed that Harris spoke about her choice not to run for the governorship of California and left the door open for another presidential run in 2028.
But Enten argued the Democrats’ search for a new leader is long from over, suggesting the party remains "historically divided" over the proper path forward to the point that they are "messier than a hoarder’s basement."
"The water is quite warm. If you‘re a Democrat potentially thinking about running in 2028, jump right in, because at this point there is no frontrunner," Enten said.
"One of the reasons why there is no frontrunner," he said, "Nobody wants to put anybody up at the top of their ballot list because, at this particular point, the Democratic brand is in the basement."
He continued by citing three very similar polls, suggesting the Democratic Party is perceived as "total and complete garbage in the mind of the American public. The Democratic Party‘s net favorable rating, record lows in all three. Wall Street Journal, 30 points underwater. CNN, 26 points underwater. Gallup, 26 points underwater."

Well they’ve promised to sexually mutilate your kids for free. Who wouldn’t vote for that?
Supporters of the Democrats are mentally ill. At this point, the Democrats would actually lose their current base if they attempted to shift to policies that were not insane.
I know, let’s alinat3 men of all races more by calling the nazi’s if the find Sydney Sweeney attractive in an ad.
More like, the Dems are messier than a Wh”res basement.
There's a reason for that.
Joetato and the rest of the Dems have peed in the pool.
That’s the problem. They can’t shift their policies. When everything is a great civil rights cause, people who disagree are evil and any means necessary are to be employed to win your position, even their dimmest supporters won’t tolerate it if they make an about face
The once honorable opposition party has been captured by Marxist left wing ideology. The old time patriotic democrats like Sam Nunn, JFK, Henry Jackson etc. are no longer welcome in the Democrat party. The democrat party today is basically a communist party. AOC and Bernie Sanders and like are the Democrat party today.
But that makes too much sense so they'll never do it.
It started at the Universities. Later there was some of it in Hollywood. But for most part it was contained.
Good
Cooper has low name recognition, but he’s better than most of the others. If he wins Senate, maybe, but him being neck and neck now is a bad sign
He'll get 52-48 or 53-47 in NC.
Cooper has low name recognition, but he’s better than most of the others
Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter initially had low name recognition.
Sounds like an appropriate analogy.
Going full commie is a ‘strategy’? They must not be very good chess players then.
Are you kidding? The democrats are ready to throw Fetterman out of the party. Every one of them have to think exactly alike on every single issue or they're not welcome anymore. It's like a reverse puritanism now, where every nasty, vile, destructive thing must be approved of by all of them or else they're not a good democrat. It's how they all speak exactly the same on every issue almost like they're reading from a script.
I marvel at how badly they've F'd up their party.
Yeah, but now average voters have really soured on the democrats. Trump has shown that he gets good things done. Something even average, not radical democrat voters are taking note of.
