Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) is rapidly gaining ground in 2028 Democratic presidential prediction markets, according to CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten.
Ossoff's odds have surged to 16 percent, more than tripling from 5 percent earlier in the year, while California Gov. Gavin Newsom's frontrunner position has declined from 35 percent to 18 percent, Enten explained.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) polled at 15 percent.
Google searches for Ossoff are up 300 percent compared to last July, reflecting national attention beyond Georgia.
Enten attributes Ossoff's rise to his strong re-election performance. A recent Fox News poll shows him leading by 13 points, far exceeding Sen. Raphael Warnock's 2022 winning margin of 3 points.
Ossoff has raised $77 million this cycle, making him the top Senate fundraiser this century.
"Money is what makes a presidential bid go," Enten said, "and he's shown an ability to raise a lot of at the top fundraiser this cycle."
