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.

      Their source of “news” is tiktok. Newsom has a better meme game, that’s all there is to it.

          That’s something I always struggle to understand. I was a young moron once, but even young after I SAW the lies of W, the fear mongering about gays, about liberals about Muslims… It was constant fear this fear that while they started illegal wars and crashed the economy.

          Ever since that bullshit I’m STILL waiting for an apology and admission of guilt for the shit they pulled before I’d ever even consider voting R.

          Meanwhile they have just gotten worse and worse… You don’t have to be a PhD historian to see that the GOP lies and steals and fear mongers. It’s all they fucking do.

          In 30 years they’ve never provided a solution to ANYTHING

          They only idea they’ve ever had is tax cuts… That’s it…
