Gavin Newsom tops Kamala Harris in 2028 presidential poll of California Democrats; Walz lags
WASHINGTON ― In a battle between two Californians considering Democratic runs for president in 2028, Gov. Gavin Newsom holds a slight edge over former Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a new poll. The poll, conducted by Politico and The Citrin Center public opinion firm, found Newsom is the top choice of 25% of California's Democratic voters in the 2028 Democratic primary, leading all prospective candidates, including Harris, the 2024 Democratic nominee, who is supported by 19% of the state's Democrats. The two high-profile Californians are followed in the poll by former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg (13%), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (10%), Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (4%) and New Jersey U.S. Sen. Cory Booker (4%). U.S. Rep. Ro Khanna, D-California, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear each has support from 3% of the state's Democratic voters, the poll found. Newsom pollster: California redistricting vote begins with overwhelming support The Democratic breakdown was taken from a subset of 1,445 registered California voters polled between July 28 and Aug. 12. Although early in the 2028 presidential election cycle, the poll offers a glimpse into the thinking of Democrats in a state that is the party's power center and home to the largest number of Democratic voters. For both Newsom and Harris, winning their home state would be critical to secure the Democratic nomination in 2028 if they decide to run. More: Kamala Harris says she won't run for California governor Newsom, who has acknowledged he might run for president in 2028, has become one of the party's most forceful and visible critics of President Donald Trump. He recently launched a redistricting campaign in California with national implications to redraw the state's congressional maps to counter Republican redistricting efforts in Texas. Harris, the former Democratic nominee who lost to Trump in the 2024 election, on July 30 announced she would be passing on a 2026 run for governor to replace Newsom, whose term is set to end. Harris's decision opened the door for a possible presidential bid in 2028, though several other Democratic contenders have started to make moves toward their own runs.

Texas Rep. Nicole Collier abruptly leaves call with Newsom after being told she's committing a felony
Texas Democratic state Rep. Nicole Collier abruptly left a call with California Gov. Gavin Newsom and other Democratic Party members after claiming she was told she was committing a felony by participating in the meeting from a state Capitol bathroom. Advertisement Collier was speaking on a call with Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin, Newsom, and several others while the Texas House of Representatives was simultaneously debating a redistricting bill backed by President Donald Trump. While speaking on the call, Collier claimed that the Texas redistricting bill violates the Voting Rights Act and 'will prevent Black and Brown individuals from selecting the candidates of their choice because they're cracking and packing these districts.' While Martin was speaking about 30 minutes into the call, Collier suddenly interrupted, saying, 'Sorry, I have to leave. They said it's a felony for me to do this.' 'Apparently I can't be on the floor or in the bathroom,' she continued, before turning to address someone off camera. Advertisement 'You told me I was only allowed to be here in the bathroom,' she told the person off camera before turning back to the call and saying, 'No, hang on. Bye everybody. I've got to go.' Both Newsom and Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., immediately expressed outrage over Collier's sudden departure. 4 Texas Democratic state Rep. Nicole Collier (above) left a call with California Gov.

Collier in the bathroom has more dignity than Donald Trump in the Oval Office.' Advertisement 'There you go,' Newsom responded, nodding his head. 'What they're trying to do right there is silence an American leader, silence a Black woman, and that is outrageous,' Booker added. 'What we just witnessed, them trying to shut her down and saying it's illegal for her to be in the bathroom and on this call, this is the lengths that they're going to in Texas.' 4 She claims that they accused her of participating in the meeting from a state Capitol bathroom. AP This comes after dozens of Democratic members of the Texas House fled the state and refused to return to the legislature for two weeks to hold up the redistricting bill by breaking quorum.

Democratic lawmakers said Texas Department of Public Safety officers followed them around Monday at the state Capitol and either guarded their offices or stayed in them and tailed them when they left. They said they had to sign 'permission slips' and accept the surveillance to leave the building. 4 Newsom and Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., immediately expressed outrage over Collier's sudden departure. Rather than comply with the measures, Collier stayed on the House floor in the Texas Capitol on Monday night and Tuesday. Despite the Democrats' standoff, the Texas House finally approved maps on Wednesday. Newsom announced he would advance a redistricting map in California to counter the Texas redistricting bill. Advertisement 4 Newsom announced he would advance a redistricting map in California to counter the Texas redistricting bill. Getty Images On Friday, California Democrats and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) released a new district map that would likely eliminate five GOP congressional seats, theoretically nullifying the five additional seats Republicans would gain if Texas' redistricting push is successful. Fox News Digital reached out to the offices of Booker and Newsom but did not immediately receive a response. Collier's office declined to comment, citing the House still being in session.
