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%).

          Everyone you disagree with is a bot, even when they have articulated thoughts.

          Everyone

          Are you insinuating that you represent all people in this case? Or are you willing to accept that fact that I made this accusation based on a finite number of people that fit the description?

              Entirely irrelevant to the discussion, but whatever makes you feel part of it. And speaking of, I’m going to end it here.

              Have the day you voted for.

                  Ahhh! I get. So you decided to white-knight a comment that was removed by a mod- looking for an argument where you thought you would find one….

                  I really wish you’d have just said so- it would have saved SO much time.
