I think he has a lot of the same weaknesses as Harris. I'd prefer someone like Whitmer, Shapiro, or Fetterman

I don't buy that for a second. Whitmer is just a better candidate, by leaps and bounds.

We rejected a white woman in '16 and a WOC in '24. Millions voted down ballot and left the top blank.

Nah, I reject this line of thinking. Harris was a poor candidate in a tough cycle.

He easily survived the recall. Reports of his demise are greatly exaggerated.

As a Californian, I'm grateful Newsom has been our Governor, but he's not the candidate for President following TSF

Right. Several days ago I read a data point that indicated 40% of Ca voters, voted for TSF

No, that's not what you were "just saying." Infuriating how much the right wing lies have infiltrated here.

At this time, I don't see how any Democratic candidate would do any differently than either Biden or Kamala.

No, it is time to get the best of our best in front of the nation. Between 6-12 candidates w/4 years for voters to see.

I'm sure Newsom, Shapiro, and Beshear will be running for the nomination, among others.

Biden always said he was going to be a transition president, and picked Kamala as his VP for that reason.

Californian here... I'm not sure he can sell it in the Rust belt. Or the Carolinas.
