Former California governor and Hollywood legend Arnold Schwarzenegger called a presidential run by current Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) a “no-brainer” on Tuesday in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter.
Schwarzenegger said:
"I think [Newsom running for president] is a no-brainer. Every governor from a big state wants to take that shot. What do I think about his performance? When you become part of the club, you don’t criticize governors — because you know how tough the job is. It’s impossible to please everybody. Before I ran for governor, I had an 80 percent approval rating. As soon as I announced, I had a 43 percent approval rating. Immediately, half of the people said, “Fuck him! I’m not going to see his movies anymore.” I would run things differently [than Newsom], but I’m a Republican, so of course I would. I don’t criticize him for not doing it my way."
Newsom has been devoting much of his time to visiting conservative states to attack their social policies. He has spent comparatively little time in California, notably leaving the state during deadly blizzards this winter.
Though Newsom told the Biden White House that he is not planning to run for president in 2024, he is seen as preparing the ground for a possible run in the event that Biden changes his mind about running for reelection.

When you become part of the club you don’t criticize governors. Unless you’re a democrat.
Or gabby...... Too cold?
Yes, how he treated his wife proved it.
Screw your Newsome!
Man how the once mighty have fallen.
Uh-huh. Had no problem criticizing Trump or W but won’t complain about the Democrat Governor because “it’s not fair”
BS.
Sure you are, supporting a Democrat that is bringing California to its knees. Newsom is a disaster.
They were at their MENSA meeting and I forgot about them.
Nazi POS
Maid Boinker
Says the biggest POS RINO in California history, his governorship was the only thing worse than his acting.
“but I’m a Republican”
Prove it.
Big Mike will be the nominee.
Why are you insulting apes?
Newsom’s campaign slogan:
“I’ll do for America, what I’ve done for California”.
80% chance Newsom is going to be the candidate.
Oh and its likely he will win.
maybe newsome could take some time off from trashing florida to fix his own state before running for president...
just saying.
If Newsom gets the nomination our guy should be DeSantis. Go ahead and get mad. 2 younger big-state governors. The contrast would be clear.
Ahnold sold out right after moving in. He was unwilling to tell the unions to bugger off, so he sold out.
Schwarzenegger made changes the democrats wanted and since then the democrats can crossover and vote in republican primaries and undermine the actual candidates leading.
