In a battle between two Californians considering Democratic runs for president in 2028, Gov. Gavin Newsom holds a slight edge over former Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a new poll.
The poll, conducted by Politico and The Citrin Center public opinion firm, found Newsom is the top choice of 25% of California’s Democratic voters in the 2028 Democratic primary, leading all prospective candidates including Harris, the 2024 Democratic nominee, who is supported by 19% of the state’s Democrats.
The two high-profile Californians are followed in the poll by former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg (13%), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (10%), Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (4%) and New Jersey U.S. Sen. Cory Booker (4%).
Waltz/AOC would have a much better chance of success since America is still pretty sexist.
Sexism is more of a problem when you’re trying to win over conservative voters…
The dems who voted for Biden and stayed home for Harris were older white men/women and older Hispanic men.
Those groups have issues with toxic masculinity and racism, implying the reason they stayed home was because the canidate with the same platform was not a white man like Biden.
Dems should prove thsy by actually allowing a decent woman being the candidate
Right now isn’t the best time to try to prove a point.
Yeah, because Hillary, Kamala, and AOC are all candidates of equal quality (women), and even considering a woman is a mistake, because as we all know, women shouldn’t and can’t try to become leaders in government.
Libs are so fucking eager to surrender to misogyny. It is sickening.
The problem isn’t that the previous candidates were women, it was that everyone fucking hated them and their policies were monstrous.
Time for more terrible candidates i guess
I am well aware. But my dream is AOC / Walz for 2 terms, then Walz and his VP pick
“Okay, we’ve had a 40 year old president now. Time to switch back to someone pushing 70.”
