In a development that could upend American politics, Volodymyr Zelensky has emerged as the front-runner in the 2024 U.S. Presidential contest.

A new poll conducted by the University of Minnesota’s Opinion Research Institute shows the Ukrainian President leading both Republicans and Democrats in the race for the White House.

According to the poll, Zelensky is the first choice of 51 percent of Americans, followed by President Biden at 23 percent, Donald J. Trump at 17 percent, and Senator Josh Hawley at half of one percent.

Davis Logsdon, who supervised the survey, said that Zelensky’s showing in a U.S. Presidential poll was the strongest ever for a Ukrainian politician.

“The fact that Zelensky was not born in the U.S. was not seen as an obstacle to his becoming the nation’s President,” Logsdon said. “And, though he does not speak fluent English, that has not historically been an obstacle either.”

It wouldnt surprise me if it was true though. American politicians are abysmal these days.

I'd vote for a Zelensky ticket, with Jacinda Arden as the Veep nominee. We can let Biden get some rest, and ship Donald to Moscow where he'll probably be happier anyway.

Don't let Trump see that headline.
He'd ask Putin to be his running mate.

I know it's satire, but I don't get why I'm supposed to find this funny. And no, it's not because I'm offended. It's not edgy and therefore can't be offensive. What is the humor angle here, exactly?

I think it's not so much "this is humorous or comical" but "huh, that's cool to think about, and nice side-dig on our existing leadership while we're at it" aka basically The Onion.

I remember seeing an actual poll back during the Obama vs. Romney race where someone actually asked people who they would vote for in a race between Obama, Romney or Bill Clinton for a third term, and Clinton had something like 70%+ of the vote.
