The poll comes as Newsom has taken a more aggressive position in standing up to President Donald Trump.

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.

    So…

    It’s not guaranteed to happen…

    But because Newsom kept saying it would happen, Texas Dems already returned, and it will happen in Texas…

    But you don’t understand why this is a bad thing?

    You don’t understand that Texas Dems should have never returned?

      You can down vote me every time I point out something you don’t like, but it won’t make you right. The people of California are pissed. LA just had mass protests and Trump called in the US military to silence them. They’ve drawn up a new map and it’s going to a vote. The odds are very good it’ll pass.

      People aren’t going to decamp for over a year away from their families because you demand it. What are you doing?

        Decamp?

        If they don’t have what it takes to fight fascism, why the fuck are they in office?

        People (including their constituents) are being kidnapped and sent to motherfucking concentration camps, but staying in a hotel is too much to ask of them?

        With standards this low, no wonder you like Newsom

          If you think you would be a better legislator, then go ahead and run for office.

          If you can’t be bothered to run, then you know why they are in office.
