  "account": "As of the latest 2028 polling, Vice President JD Vance is trailing Democratic candidates Pete Buttigieg, Jon Ossoff, and Kamala Harris in hypothetical general election matchups, but holds a narrow lead over Senator Jon Ossoff. Buttigieg leads Vance 48.5% to 43.9%, while Ossoff has a 48.5% to 44.1% lead. Ossoff has stated he has no intention of running for president in 2028. Former Vice President Kamala Harris leads Vance by 48.3% to 44.4%, while Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom holds a narrower lead of 45.5% to 43.6%. Only Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez trails Vance, with 42% support compared to Vance's 44.9%. No candidate from either party has officially entered the 2028 race, and none has gained significant traction thus far. A year ago, Vance led Buttigieg by a small margin, but the gap has since widened in favor of Buttigieg.",
