The poll indicates support for the more aggressive position Newsom has taken in standing up to Donald Trump, particularly over a plan by Republicans in Texas to redraw their state’s congressional seat map in the hopes of winning more seats in midterm elections next year.

The battle to become the 2028 presidential election candidate will likely set the new direction for the Democratic Party as it struggles with net favorability at what one recent poll showed to be a three-year low. Newsom has not formally announced his candidacy.

    I’m sure the people that went bankrupt due to illness will be glad to hear that. Or the people that could no longer feed their kids due to Biden taking away their benefits. Or the students that still owe money becuase Biden chose to dick around instead of fixing their debt.

      As I said, the top concern among Democrats is inflation. Not ending capitalism.

        I’m pretty sure I didn’t disagree with that. As I said, the Democrats should have done something about that when they had the chance.

          They did. They reduced CPI below 3%, which means they fixed inflation.

          That doesn’t mean they solved everyone’s problems. But they fixed what Democrats consider the biggest problem.
