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.

    As for giving trans people the shaft. I think this is just exaggerations people make online. He came out against trans athletes joining sports of their gender. But that’s an issue 66% of Americans agree with. It hardly means he doesn’t support trans people.

      The trans issue shows he’s not up for the challenge. If he can’t stay on message and has to spread disinformation to win then he is only going to sweep MAGA under the rug instead of addressing their lies head on.

        What disinformation did he spread? Maybe I missed that. He actually calls Charlie Kirk out for disinformation he was spreading.
