I do think you are overrating Newsom tremendously. He will not play well with some of these red leaning purple states like Arizona and Georgia, and his record in California, which is irrelevant to voters there because it is a completely communistic one party state, will disgust voters at a national level.
If Biden does step aside I think it will be for Kamala. I don't think Newsom would want to be on that ticket, plus they are both from California, so she would probably pick Whitmer or Shapiro as VP.
Well, I think there’s a very good chance we’ll see Gretchen Whitmer toss her hat in the ring.
Not crazy about her. But her ambition has been clear for all to see. She’ll have her own agenda vs. the pre-paid postage that Biden has been delivering.
That’ll make an interesting joust with Trump.
Jill Biden will just have to go back to Delaware and lick her wounds with Pop-Pop!! So-long “Jills”!
I got 0.12" this morning and an additional 1.30" or so this evening. It was blowing sideways so I don't know how accurate amount is this evening. The one rain gauge lid with slightly tilted so that's probably off. Still haven't checked those and was just going by my digital.
Not really.
Newsom was re-elected in 2022 after COVID with 59% of the vote after getting 61% of the vote in 2018. You are completely biased here.
The real problem for Trump is that Newsom would give a sense of comfort to all of the independent voters who are looking for any way to reject Trump. He would absolutely crush Trump in debates. He is so well spoken and articulate. Trump would look like a buffoon next to him.
Forget the policies and blah blah blah crap about homeless people in San Francisco. Newsom would be such a contrast from Biden and against Trump that it could easily swing the election the other way. Style over substance.
