A new 2028 presidential poll found Gavin Newsom is the top choice of 25% of California's Democratic voters, followed by Kamala Harris at 19%.

California Democrats unveiled a new congressional map that could give them five more seats, countering GOP redistricting in Texas and reshaping House control.
