California Governor Gavin Newsom holds an early edge over Vice President JD Vance among young male voters for the 2028 presidency, according to new polling from a Republican-affiliated firm.
The latest League of American Workers/TIPP survey, conducted October 22-28, shows that among young men, 38 percent would vote for Newsom compared to 33 percent for Vance.
The findings suggest that Newsom—a prominent Democratic voice—continues to outperform expectations with a demographic that has trended toward the GOP in recent years. The results come amid renewed debate within both parties over how to win back young men, a group increasingly seen as pivotal to future national elections.
Don’t run Newsom. Run AOC
It’ll be Harris all over again. JD sucks but in no way would I be enthusiastic about voting for Newsom.
I think there’s no way in hell Harris would win a democratic nomination. The stink left on her from losing to Trump will be very hard to overcome.
I think she’d be great. I’d vote for her if I could.
We need more good Senators.
Think she could win a democratic nomination? I think it’s going to be very hard for her to overcome that loss.
I think she’d slot into Schumer’s slot nicely. If AOC doesn’t grab it first.
NY is definitely not an easy state to win statewide elections. But I hope she does. She deserves a much bigger platform.
Edit: I hope she does. Somehow I said the opposite of what I meant.

I was not and would not be enthusiastic about voting for Harris - but I would vote for her.
I straight up would not vote for Newsom.
Democratic primary is going to be INTERESTING. God I hope we don’t fuck this up.
While I would love AOC, she would be the youngest by quite a bit. Plus, she probably needs to win something more than a house seat. It is great having a party leader that is so young.
The problem with the party leadership route is that party insiders are the only ones who get to vote on it, and when that’s the electorate she can’t even beat Gerry Nadler. If she can run in a race with real people voting on it I think she could beat anyone.
Why? Explain why.
Copy and pasting from my other comment
Trump never held office before being elected president. What he had was fame. Guess what AOC has in spades?
Integrity, respect of her constituency, and empathy.
So because she isn’t in the hierarchy, too easy say less burn the hierarchy down. IDGAF about your perceived “uphill” battle if she has the words and is elected in the primaries full send.
Literally, Trump wasn’t shit before and had a shitty first term and they re elected him.
The primary is the uphill battle. She’ll have my vote at all stages probably.
Run AOC.
Dumbest shit I’ve heard in a while. She would be a great candidate, but to quote back to the future " I guess you guys weren’t ready for that yet. But your kids are gonna love it’
Call it dumb, but Newsom is one candidate that voting for would violate my moral code. If it’s Newsom vs Trump or Newsom vs Vance, I am staying home.
I am literally begging democrats to run someone I can vote for. Doesn’t have to be a good candidate, just has to be someone that’s not Newsom
I defo think we should run AOC over Newsom. That said, people staying home because voting for the lesser of two evils “violated their moral code” is how we ended up in our current situation. It is unbelievably selfish to prefer to say “at least my hands are clean” as the world grows drastically darker due to your inaction. I really hope we get to vote for AOC in 2028, but if we don’t, then I am begging you to do some reflection and change your attitude.
It’s not lesser of the two evils for me. Newsom strikes me as a smarter Trump seen through a Democratic curtain instead of a Republican one.
Voting for Biden and Harris were voting for the lesser of the two evils. Voting for Newsom is not. That’s how strongly I feel about Newsom.
While I would enthusiastically vote for AOC, it doesn’t have to be AOC to get my vote. Hell, id vote Whitmer - and she gives me slimy vibes.
AOC with a Bernie VP could win. With just AOC, your going to have a bunch of neolibs that will just sit out because they don’t want to vote for a woman. It’s fucking stupid, and counter productive, but it’s true.
President Vance it is, then.
There are Democrats not named Newsom.
If Democrats choose to run him anyway, then I guess we’ll have President Vance, yes.
This is the same stupid logic that got us Kavanaugh. There has to be more than one eligible person, yet they insist on pushing one of the worst possible candidates.
Are you saying Newsom is the last standing Democrat available to run for President? Because I disagree.
Oh, shut up.
Like the other guy said: shut up.
No, that’s a great point of view. If someone offers you 40% of what you want, and the other person offers you 0%, and wants you to become a slave, the only natural choice is to not support either of them, because you can’t get 100% of what you want…
As I say at work fairly often, the chances of something going from a state of complete disarray to complete perfection, overnight, is essentially zero. But even if you go from 1% of what you want to 2%, that’s still an order of magnitude better than the status quo.
When faced with a choice of no improvement, or slight improvement, it hardly ever makes sense to choose no improvement, unless there’s some massive cost involved for a barely noticable gain.
Newsom doesn’t offer me 40%. He offers 0%. Sorry not sorry.
Newsom is infinitely more likely to get elected in a national election unless we suddenly develop class consciousness.
Always saying centrist candidates are the only ones who can win and then running only centrist candidates is a self fulfilling prophecy that doesn’t even have a good track record.
Is AOC running?
Is Newsom running (any more officially than AOC)?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
She’s building up for something, not yet clear whether state level or national level.
NY “moderate” dems need replacement. Hochul, Schumer, Gillibrand…
Antonio Delgado is challenging Hochul and I’m excited for that. Gillibrand unfortunately isnt up for a while yet. Schumer is up in 2028 and therefore the most likely for AOC to challenge at state level.
She is likely running for senate.
There are rumors. If have to check but I don’t think Newsom is explicitly running yet either
Don’t run either. Can’t ever get change if people keep electing POS that place the status quo over the needs of the working class Edit sp
But Newsom made funny Twitter posts.
This please…
