(54,595 posts)atm, like it is going to be Steyer as the Dem vote leader in the jungle primary. I do not see Mahan winning, nor Porter. Would be nice if it ends up 2 Dems in the general, but I suspect MAGAt Hilton will sneak in.
Steyer openly reversing his opposition to single-payer was a big positive for me.
During his 2020 Democratic presidential primary campaign, Steyer opposed Medicare for All; his campaign ran ads against progressive candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders' proposed single-payer healthcare plan. In December 2025, Steyer reversed his position, posting to a video to social media in which he stated he was "wrong" to oppose single-payer healthcare, saying "Bernie Sanders was right" and that after looking at data, he came to believe that single-payer was the best choice.
