Newsom overtakes Kamala in poll of Democratic candidates for President!

17. I think we are very early in the process

and things can still change quite a bit between now and when we go to vote in the primaries. I don't personally see Harris as a viable candidate simply because the country has already weighed in on her and said no. I feel we cannot run candidates a second time and expect to get a different outcome. Trump was an outlier because he had actually won an election before. Harris hasn't.

I do feel Newsom may be one of the top candidates however, because at this point, the other possible contenders either are being dismissed by many voters for not being straight white Christian males, or if they are in that demographic, they don't have much of a national profile at this point. Things could still change. Candidates may develop more of a national profile. The results of the midterms may give voters more confidence to think outside of the box with regards to choosing a candidate. We will have to see.

I'm personally voting for Pete Buttigieg if he's running, and if Elizabeth Warren is in there, she's next on my list. I like Newsom, though, and I'm open to learning about some of the others that live in other parts of the country that I don't know much about yet, and might learn more about during the debates and primary.
