Is Gavin Newsom the right man for the Democrats?
His rhetoric
California Governor Gavin Newsom recently launched a resounding crusade against the President of the United States, relentlessly attacking Trump's personality by perfectly mimicking his rhetoric on social networks.
In the lead
This change of tone on the part of the governor seems to have immediately propelled him to the top of the most recent polls.
Spectacular progress
Recent polls highlight Gavin Newsom's spectacular rise in the Democratic electorate.
75%
According to the Politico-Citrin Center/Possibility Lab poll, Gavin Newsom wins 25% support for the 2028 presidential bid, ahead of Kamala Harris 19% and Pete Buttigieg 13%. The survey also indicates that 75% of Democrats are enthusiastic about his candidacy.
Democratic voters
A poll cited by The Hill shows that Gavin Newsom now has 25% support among Democratic voters in California, up from just 12% in June. This puts him in the lead, ahead of Pete Buttigieg 16% and Kamala Harris down to 11%.
The streets of Los Angeles
Let's not forget that Newsom began this strategy of muscular retaliation when Trump deployed the National Guard on the streets of Los Angeles without the approval of the governor or the city's mayor.
Its electoral districts
The confrontation took on a new dimension when Texas, at the President's request, announced it was redrawing its voting districts to benefit Republicans, prompting Newsom to adopt an "eye for an eye" attitude on the issue, proposing to redraw California and viciously criticizing the President's decision.
Launching Trump-like merchandise
Since then, the governor has gone on a Trump-like rampage on social networks, going so far as to mimic his style of posting and launching Trump-like merchandise. This strategy, devised with his team, seems to be paying off, attracting attention while irritating the president's entourage and pro-Trump media.
