Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss a big shift in voters from the Democrats to Republicans over the past five years, Andrew Cuomo expecting President Trump to help his campaign for mayor of New York City, and California Democrats preferring Gavin Newsom over Kamala Harris if they both run for president in 2028.
First, they dig into a New York Times study reported on by Townhall showing Democrats have lost more than two million voters since 2020 and Republicans have gained 2.4 million. Part of that may reflect the huge dissatisfaction with the Biden years but they also point out that people are just sick of the Democrats trying to dictate every detail of their lives.
Next, they scratch their heads at a Politico report saying that Andrew Cuomo is expecting President Trump to help him become mayor of New York City. At a fundraiser in the Hamptons, Cuomo reportedly said he expects Trump and other Republican leaders to urge GOP voters to back Cuomo because Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa cannot win. Jim and Greg doubt Trump has any interest in helping Cuomo and they don't think Sliwa voters would abandon their candidate to help resuscitate the political career of a "slimeball" like Cuomo.
Finally, they react to a poll of California Democrats preferring Gov. Gavin Newsom as the party's 2028 presidential nominee by six points over former Vice President Kamala Harris. Neither Jim not Greg would be surprised to see Harris pass on the 2028 campaign, and they also discuss whether Newsom's constant public opposition to the Trump agenda is putting him in good position to win the nomination or whether his baggage as governor will derail his White House ambitions.
