Newsom is a twit. He's just posturing early to be the next candidate now that the whore is gone.
Newsom believes she's a lightweight. That with the power of California liberalism and politics behind him. With 54 electoral votes and NY likely also in his pocket to start. He figures he's so convincing. So sincere. SO smart. SO handsome and charming. He thinks his Berkely law degree and education. Aunt Nancy's connections make him unbeatable.
He only has 2 years left as Gov and will then spend the next two years "exploring" the possibility of a Presidential run.
In reality you have to run for President 1-2 years before the election so once he is done in 26, he will raise funds for a year then spend the last half of 2027 and first part of 2028 running for President.
Keep that fantasy. Won’t happen I. Our lifetimes
