@VeryGewd Why do people think she’s not as connected to her donors as Newsom? He’s related to these people. Kamala worked her way into those circles. She has a Getty godchild. She had the Buells knocking doors for her. But people think she doesn’t know how they feel about supporting her?
English
Harris doesn’t need to beat Newsom in a California primary, and I definitely don’t need a poll to tell me that. She just needs to keep him from owning it, and that she can for sure do. Same thing with the donors.

Harris would not beat Newsom in a California primary, and I don't need a poll to tell me that. California donors will also give to Newsom before they give to Kamala. She should take that into consideration before deciding to run again.

@thehill Yeah, we’ve noticed. 🙄
It’s forced, inauthentic and only serves to turn people off.

@daveweigel Hey how come you didn’t apply for that job you didn’t want? It would be so easy to get! Everyone else who applied sucks. I know you have no interest in the gig & nobody else wants it either but come on, take one for the team!

Kamala forgoing a lay-up gov race and condemning CA Dems to this panicky Squid Game, one of the great 2025 stories
Max@aoxamaxoa
@daveweigel It still boggles my mind that Harris looked at a field she would be able to clear by literally doing nothing besides declaring her run for Governor and somehow decided against that in favor of a 2028 nomination she probably won’t win

@makethemshine Well, fwiw, I can’t help but notice how many people who were pooh-poohing Headquarters are now regularly retweeting Headquarters. 🤷♀️
English
@GypsyZuls Thing is, people are getting their news from trolling accounts. Headquarters really just gives you the news straight up and when they DO troll, they’re not quite good at it compared to the Democrats pages, especially on TikTok.

P.S. Bonus fun fact — while it’s very early and our data isn’t ideal for assessing 2028 electability, @mcuban 's performance in the trial heats we did is literally off the charts.

Look how relatable he is though...

@VeryGewd bad day for the getty family nepo baby community

@AhavatHaEmet @VeryGewd Yeah but on the flip side, Harris dropped 7 points in the last McLaughlin poll.
English
@VeryGewd Newsom has dropped 8 points since his high mark of 27% in November 2025.

After President Trump claimed to reporters twice today that he had recently spoken to a former president who praised his actions in Iran, saying: “I wish I did what you did.” Aides to all four living presidents, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Joe Biden, have issued statements to CNN, saying there is no record of any communications between them and President Trump.

@wiay204 @VeryGewd Gavin’s Twitter trolling already coming back to bite him from various directions - Shapiro, Moore… (any others?)
Interesting that they’re going after him but haven’t yet seen anyone attack MVP in this way.

Jewish Insider: Josh Shapiro on politicians who call Israel an apartheid state “I just think we’ve got to be really thoughtful and careful and not just look for buzzwords and not just sort of follow what’s going to get maybe some likes on Twitter…. but we’ve got to be thoughtful about a debate that is really, really hard to have, and we’ve got to have it.”

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro on Newsom calling Israel an apartheid state: “We've got to be acknowledging that language matters here. That words matter and that we've got to use words that are actually rooted in reality and are able to bring the temperature down” Source: Interview with Pod Save America

@PWHeadlines26 @PpollingNumbers No it’s not. The pendulum will swing back hard after 4 years of rampant misogyny. We don’t need a straight white male.
Plus Newsom has far too much baggage to be nationally electable.
English
@PpollingNumbers If we wanna win, it’s gonna be Newsom or Beshear. I’d vote for Kamala in a heartbeat but it’s too much of a risk

John Oliver on JD Vance’s mentor, billionaire Peter Thiel — who once wrote he no longer believes "that freedom and democracy are compatible."
Thiel bankrolled Vance's 2022 Senate run with "the largest amounts given to a single candidate in congressional history."

@amandalitman This is exactly what Kamala has been talking about for months. And meeting with affordable housing developers, health care, and childcare workers to understand the roadblocks so she can actually execute, not just talk.
English
A talented Democratic communicator in 2028 could make this their overarching vision: An America where you can know your neighbors.
Policies could include affordability (housing, health care, childcare, etc) but also: Better schools so you can let go of parenting anxiety ...

Everything is downstream from the deep alienation people feel these days from loss of community. Immigrants aren’t why your kids don’t play in the park together or ride their bikes to some sandlot. That’s roads, helicopter parenting, relentless competition/activities .
