VP would be Stacy Abrams.
Don’t worry the Democrats will screw things up even more
Even if legal (and it is not) the Recall is less than two weeks away. There is not enough time for that to work.
However, he could still resign but there is no guarantee that he'd be confirmed by Congress to be the next Vice President.
His best roll of the dice is to remain in office and take his chances with the recall election.

Harris is ineligible.
Pelosi will (in a stunning reversal of her modus operendi) OUT Harris to get her out of the line of succession
Leaving Pelosi as President of USA.
Neither Pelosi nor Harris would choose Newsome for Veep or anything else, however, he’s last year’s roadkill in political terms
Don’t you know Harris would want to bring Willie Brown in???
Here’s a possibility..Sirhan Sirhan is released ..
A similar situation happened in New Jersey with the election between Bob Torricelli and Doug Forrester in 2002.
Torricelli was behind in the polls as his scandals were catching up with him.
Rather than risk losing his seat to the Republican, the Torch resigned and Frank Lautenberg was appointed to fill his seat. The New Jersey Democrat party also petitioned the court to swap Lautenberg in place of Torricelli on the ballot. Republicans complained, stating that absentee ballots had already been sent out and were being returned, in other words, voting had already begun.
New Jersey being Jersey, the court sided with the Democrats and ordered new ballots to be mailed out with Lautenberg on it, stating that "voters deserved a competitive election." This was despite the fact that New Jersey voters had a competitive election and disliked the candidate that the Democrats ran.
Apparently, to Democrats, a "competitive election" is one where the Democrat candidate is ahead. If the Democrat is behind, then it becomes "the voters deserve a choice."
Forrester lost, and Republicans were denied the seat. Can the same thing happen in California if Newsom decides to resign ahead of the recall election to deny Larry Elder the win?

i think it’ll be Buttplugi-gig and his wife/bitchy fag friend. ugh. I hope this scenario does not happen.
Minor nitpick. President does not appoint the VP replacement directly. The candidate for VP is nominated and the Senate has to approve. Since the VP slot is empty, the 50/50 Senate split becomes problematic for the Dems to push through the nomination.
I would think that their golden boy would be Butt-i-jig (or what ever his name is).
With Harris as VP, Dems lose their Senate Majority.
If Biden resigns, the Democrats lose their majority in the Senate. Republicans could continue to deny them a majority by refusing to confirm any VP other than a Republican or a Senator from Georgia (who Kemp could replace with a Republican).

Could happen. Since the dems don’t give one twit about the American people or the good of the country.
You need a good flaming.
No way dR jill lets this happen.
...You do The Great Reset and then you tear the country down
That’s what it’s all about!
She can propose it.
The House will pass it by simple majority, but the Senate will not.
I don’t see the appeal of Newsom. He is the subject of a recall, which seems to me to mean that a lot of Californians feel he has failed as governor. If that’s what she is looking for, there are a number of former Illinois governors who would be suitable. Or Cuomo.
However it all turns out, I always keep in mind that we have, as of today, 1,241 days until our national nightmare is potentially over. Maybe.
That would be the GOP dream team. More likely Harris appoints Pelosi. Or Omar.
