According to a POLITICO-Citrin Center-Possibility Lab survey, Newsom leads Vice President Kamala Harris in a potential 2028 presidential primary within California. This surge in support is linked to Newsom’s combative stance against Trump, particularly through his online trolling campaign and introduction of the “Election Rigging Response Act.” While Harris has also shown some positive poll numbers, the contrasting levels of enthusiasm between the two candidates highlight the evolving dynamics within the Democratic Party.

The article highlights the recent deployment of National Guard troops from several states, primarily in the Deep South, to Washington, D.C., ostensibly to address rising crime rates, echoing a narrative promoted by Donald Trump. However, a comparison of crime statistics reveals a striking irony: the murder rates in the capitals and major cities of the states sending troops to D.C. are significantly higher than those in the nation’s capital.
