So looks like the Democrats have 3 leading contenders for a presidential run in 2028 now, AOC, Mamdani and Newsom.


Prop 50 is a direct rebuttal of Republican gerrymandering that may well backfire, but is still demonstrating they're not taking it lying down.

Its also known as the "Election Rigging Response Act", democrats have created a very deliberately and openly gerrymandered congressional district map that would target the seats of 5 republican members in the state, if Texas goes ahead with their plans to redistrict to give the republicans 5 more seats in the house.


The approach is not without its risks, but it got 70% support at the ballot box.

Crazy that the US is now voting explicitly in favour of vote rigging.

The 2028 primary will be interesting for a change. I think Newsom will have a good run at Prez gig and is on the bigger side of the Democrat party than AOC and Mamdani
Pending on ambition, one of AOC or Mamdani could challenge Chuck for his seat. Will Mamdani be happy with mayor for time being and not go against AOC for Chuck seat?

The dems would be taking a massively risky gamble with AOC or Mamdani. Newsom is a much more acceptable face for US voters compared to both of them, in more ways than one.

I reckon Mamdani will be busy for the next few years.

He's limited in how much he can actually change too.

The feeling this time last year is they can't go with anyone from anywhere near a coast - costal elites being a bad thing.
 
He's too radical for the US, even though his policies are fairly normal leftist in Europe. If he was running in France, he'd be considered mild.
I reckon he'll get a lot done in NYC, he has a lot of atomic power, outside requiring anyone elses approval.

Small changes can make a big difference to a city like NYC.

Look at Boris Bikes, small enough spend, but had an absolutely enormous impact in London.
