Among young male voters, 38 percent would vote for the California governor in 2028 compared to 33 percent for the vice president.

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.

    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.

        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.

          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.
