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.

    I dont think its extreme to prefer some larger leadership roles before the largest one in the country. Even Obama had a senator stint. Even with it I think he squandered certain opportunities for progress because of inexperience. I’d still vote AOC before Newsom by a large margin but there are also other potentials in the party. Those potentials aren’t as left as I’d like but they could be more effective at getting things done.

    Trump is a strong argument against allowing inexperience…

      Keep polishing those turds with experience. They still will be turds.
      Obama was a turd as well he just made you feel good about it.
      You deserve Nancy polosi, biden, and Mitch McConnell.

          Some people are incapable of holding a nuanced conversation. I’ll apologize on that guy’s behalf.

          And to satisfy him, I’ll throw this in. If you don’t agree with me 100% on all things, you’re literally Satan.
