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.

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

    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.

        What political seat do you hold? I mean according to you, one has to run to have a political view.

          If you aren’t willing to make sacrifices, don’t expect others to do so. That’s not a political view.

              Someone asked why they were in office. The reason is that they put in the effort to run, when most people wouldn’t bother. Not to make sacrifices in the name of fighting fascism, when most people wouldn’t.
