Gavin Newsom tops Kamala Harris in 2028 presidential poll of California Democrats
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%).
An Ocasio-Cortez / Walz ticket would be a dream come true. I believe Newsom is too much of a neoliberal and opportunist to actually begin to revert the US into a progressive state, and would ultimately cause someone like DeSantis to be elected afterwards.
Waltz/AOC would have a much better chance of success since America is still pretty sexist.
I am well aware. But my dream is AOC / Walz for 2 terms, then Walz and his VP pick
Dems should prove thsy by actually allowing a decent woman being the candidate
Also Walz will be in his 70s in 2036, AOC will be pushing 50. I'd much rather Walz 2028-2036 and then run AOC 2036-2044.
Sexism is more of a problem when you're trying to win over conservative voters....
Walz/AOC would also work
I just vomited a lot a bit...
Edit: honestly I've been having this reaction a lot when hearing about neo liberals and fascists. The first part of your comment is my dream and the last part is feeling like the nightmare reality.
