The poll indicates support for the more aggressive position Newsom has taken in standing up to Donald Trump, particularly over a plan by Republicans in Texas to redraw their state’s congressional seat map in the hopes of winning more seats in midterm elections next year.

The battle to become the 2028 presidential election candidate will likely set the new direction for the Democratic Party as it struggles with net favorability at what one recent poll showed to be a three-year low. Newsom has not formally announced his candidacy.

    To everyone complaining: this is the fucking primary. This is when you bring out your leftist candidate that can represent us against literal fascists.

    Stop fucking whining and do something about it before it’s too late, Newsom wins the primary, and we all have to listen to you whine for another goddamn decade about how Democrats don’t represent us.

      Just tried that in 2016. Debbie Schultz and Hillary decided to quell Bernie fervor, elevated Trump, and secured years of Trump and a fascist devolution. Utterly embarrassing. The Democratic party is not going to stop fascism.

        Well let’s fucking make them do it again, in such a way that they can’t fucking make up the deficit. How long are people going to bitch about it and use it as an excuse it’s just not possible? Tides are changing. It’s fucking now or never

        Okay comrade. You know which party is as bad as fascism? The Communist party is every bit as bad.

        Debbie Schultz and Hillary decided to quell Bernie fervor

        Those 2 idiots decide for you whether you like Bernie or not? You look to them to make your decisions on who to support? LMFAO…

        Until the Democratic Party just ignores primary results they don’t like.

        Traitorapist Trump is that you? It sure sounds like you. I’m so sick of your ridiculous bullshit.
