I lost a lot of respect for Newsom over his Chinese Laundry foray during the COVID shut down. He also strikes me as "Do as I say, not as I do". However --- the reality is that the bar in literally as low as it can go at this point based on the behaviors of the person currently in the Whitehouse and the collapse of the man that held the office before this election. Newsom is smarter than anyone in the office since Clinton, but he has to prove how good his political skills are -- he certainly will not always take the high road, and he isn't afraid of fighting and knows the issue extremely well. He is the face of the Democratic party at this point and isn't an idealogue, so he can shift away from less popular positions if he wants to. He also will easily go and run the social media gauntlet and is comfortable in front of the camera at basically all times. He has charisma when he doesn't align himself with the Ivory Tower.
I don't know, I hear he can throw a mean left hook while wearing his boat loafers and khaki shorts after a long day of boating in the sun. His kryptonite is the hair, if you can mess it up - he collapses like a Trump bit coin scheme.
the opportunist is projecting his unease---popularity trending against him---over his 2028 presidential ambitions https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...ce-in-2028-poll/ar-AA1KQtLu?ocid=BingNewsSerp against Newsom, JD Vance is behind, 37% vs Newsom's 39% against mayor Pete, the opportunist is also behind, 37% vs. 41% 3 months ago, Vance had a slight lead over mayor Pete; and Newsom was not in the picture
