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.
Yes, Gavin is a way better conservative than the couch fucker, but that ain’t saying much.
I used to think Newsome was possibly a psychopath, and I still do, and I thought it might hurt him in a national contest, compared to a “home town boy” like JD, on account of relatability, but now I think it might be the opposite, or at least also true that ID is too relatable for his own good…We know a little too well who he is…
He’s the bosses dickhead kid. You know, the one that would get drunk and tear around in his dad’s boat like an asshole with his other rich dick friends, got in trouble for that awful wreck in high school but nobody ever heard what came of it? Damn shame about that guy and his daughter. Yeah, he’s one that turned a wrench in the shop for a couple weeks but it wasn’t for him, the oil and solvents and whatnot, too hard on his hands. He went off to college for a few years, came back and took over the manager job his dad’s been promising you for a few years. Now he’s your boss, and he just cut your hours. Happy Thanksgiving.
That’s fuckin’ JD Vance.
I feel it’s premature to assume JD would be the GOP candidate. No one particularly likes him, even as some people like trump for whatever reason.
we need a leftist to run ffs
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
Her highest accomplishment is being a House of Representatives member. This is incredibly rare. Most people that become president have been elected in a statewide election, or had military, or were a part of the office in some way already (VP, secretary, etc).
To go from being a House of Representatives member to being president is a massive uphill battle.
I hope she runs and joins other democrats on the debate stage. It would raise her profile in a big way. She would have my vote for sure. But I would not get my hopes up simply cause of her experience level.
Trump never held office before being elected president. What he had was fame. Guess what AOC has in spades?
Run AOC.
Is AOC running?
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.
Is Newsom running (any more officially than AOC)?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There are rumors. If have to check but I don’t think Newsom is explicitly running yet either
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
the astroturf is strong with this one
Get ready for a lot more of it when the elections come around. This place will be crawling with that bullshit again.
Hey, maybe he’s a true believer that just drank all the astroturf flavored Kool-aid.
Newsom is also not my preferred candidate. Yeah, it might lower enthusiasm and cause people to stay home, aka the opposite of Mamdami. But I’m not going to go tell my friends and everyone on the Internet not to vote because of it.
I looked that up. I’m not representing other people or claiming that this will be a movement. If they run Newsom, they will lose my vote. If that doesn’t matter to them, so be it.
People like you discouraged votes for Harris, and handed Trump his second term.
What are newsomes previous policy choices or personal actions that would disqualify him in your view?
Newsome is terrible. He’s a slimy rich boy who is exceptional at playing demographics.
People are excited cause this gerrymandering thing was a win. The dude has been enabling PG&E to kill hundreds of people in Northern California and handed them more power in relation to solar installation. He’s not that far off from his democratic cuck podcast phase where he let popular republicans shit down his throat cause he thought that would make him more popular nationality.
Newsome will sell the nation out for money, or power, he doesn’t care about California, he cares about looks. DNC loves a plastic-surgeried, rich candidate as much as republicans do. You can hope they do better, but people are shallow.
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.
Like the other guy said: shut up.
Oh, shut up.
Newsom is infinitely more likely to get elected in a national election unless we suddenly develop class consciousness.
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.
Fuck Newsome. More of the same bullshit Dems that lost to Trump…
If Newsom wins the nomination, he’ll probably win the general…
But that means he’d get to appoint a neoliberal as DNC chair, and they’re sure as shit not going to let a progressive get the nom in 2032, Newsom would run again. Then he’d be out or name a new DNC chair again…
And 2036 we won’t get a fair primary either.
We can’t afford to go back
I don’t care if you’re a lifetime green party voter, anyone that considers themselves left of the Dem party still needs to vote in Dem primaries to drag the party left.
There aren’t even Green primaries. You lose nothing voting in the Dem primary, and are not obligated to anything in the general.
Oh look it’s the same pattern that’s been happening my entire life.
