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.

      Great news!

      The DNC agrees with us now on that:

      Following years of pressure from progressive advocates, the Democratic National Committee’s resolutions panel on Tuesday unanimously approved a measure aimed at limiting dark money—undisclosed independent campaign contributions—in presidential primary elections.

      The resolution, which was introduced by Chair Ken Martin, was approved during the DNC’s summer meeting in Minneapolis. The measure calls for creating a panel tasked with pursuing “real, enforceable steps the DNC can take to eliminate unlimited corporate and dark money in its 2028 presidential primary process.”

      Keeping that out of the primary, means the deciding factor is just who voters want, not who donors want.

      It’s not as easy as it sounds, and I fully get any hesitation or doubt that they’re “looking into it”, but shit man…

      It’s huge they’re even putting in a good faith effort to figure out how to do it and hold candidates accountable
