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%).
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.
Sounds kinda conservative to me 🤷 I’m just saying if you’re a minority running for the office, don’t pivot towards people who see your identity as an issue.
I think there are a lot of older white men/women and hispanic men who vote Democrat but have conservative ideals.
They’re called Neoliberals usually
