Wait, are people seriously talking about Gavin Newsom running for president in 2024?

Even though 2024 is still years away and President Joe Biden has said he plans to run for re-election at age 81, national publications and pundits have spent gobs of time discussing a hypothetical 2024 Democratic presidential primary.

Polls suggest that Vice President Kamala Harris would be the front-runner in such a primary, though her team reportedly expects a challenge from Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, among others.

The already painfully premature discourse took a turn this week when some prominent pundits began floating a new name: California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

All of the speculation is mooted if Biden runs, or if Harris appears to be the prohibitive early front-runner in polls, which would likely deter many prospective challengers beyond Newsom. Another poll from this week shows that she comfortably leads the pack.

But in the event Biden does not run and Harris loses her grip? Never underestimate the ambitions of one Gavin Newsom.

Why not. He is tied to organized crime at the national level.

Perhaps he wants to get started on his foundation.

He has good hair and he is an excellent bullshi*ter. What other qualifications do you want?

He can get 81 million votes, I’m sure.

The Democrats have nobody, literally, that is accomplished and can be argued to be qualified to be President. Those in power spent 40 years keeping their power and didn’t mentor anybody who could be President.

It’s a joke.

I hope he does run, and I hope he wins. America hasn’t been punished and slapped around enough to come to its senses.

It's all the rage I guess.
I heard the other day that Prickster from Illinois is making noise about running too.

More like 85 million. He might even carry North and South Dakota and Utah.

No matter who the RATs put up the mail in ballots and the computerized vote count guarantees a landslide win for them.

There is no ‘running for president’ until 2020 gets cleared up. It will all be whom the Dems place in the White House

That’s all

So yes. Newsom can get placed in the White House. Of course he can.

When you cannot admit to any mistake so hard that you seek to endlessly propagate that mistake to an ever greater degree.

Why not Newsome ?

Like Obama, he’s got TV appeal for the proletariat.

All hat, no cattle.

He could pick Stacey Abrams for his running mate. Perish the thought.
