Newsom is a Governor of a large state with a huge economy. When he talks, he comes across as knowing what governance is and how government works, and he can articulate the facts and figures of a large economy. (California economy is like the fourth or fifth largest in the world.) He understands farm economies and urban economies, agriculture being one of the biggest industries in CA. Basically, the people of this country are on edge about how close to the economic cliff we have become with Trump driving the car and are looking to who can rescue us.

As far as no one voting for someone from CA, how'd that work out for Reagan?...
