A growing number of California voters say they do not want either Joe Biden or Donald Trump to run for president again in 2024. 

Gavin Newsom tops their list of the candidates they would like to see run, even though the governor insists he has no intention of doing that

 As KCBS reported on Friday, and you may have seen the polling data on Twitter, the latest survey from UC Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies showed that the vast majority of California voters do not want to see a Trump-Biden rematch.

Surprisingly, Democrats were split right down the middle, 46% to 46%, on whether President Biden should seek a second term, and of course, Republicans were overwhelmingly against Biden running again. California Democrats prefer Gavin Newsom or Bernie Sanders, and further down the list, Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg and even Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, to Joe Biden. 

KCBS Radio news anchors Patti Reising, Bret Burkhart and Doug Sovern want to dig a little deeper into what’s going on with the California electorate right now, so they are joined live today by political scientist Dr. Anna Sampio, professor in the Ethnic Studies Department at Santa Clara University.
