“He’s a fighter, that’s what we need!” a top-tier producer, and reliable Dem ATM over the decades, told Deadline of Newsom. “I just wish more Democrats, like Schumer and the leadership (in Congress), would emulate him, not take any sh*t from Trump,” the producer added of Newsom and his Trump 2.0 strategy of throwing punches online and off line at the authoritarian “loser” White House.
With legislation like the January 1 effective ICE unmasking “No Secret Police Act” and his landslide Proposition 50 redistricting victory last month mentioned, admiration for Newsom’s fightin’ ethos is a sentiment echoed throughout town time and time again, we found — and not just by fanboy Bill Maher.
Still, the donor money is there in SoCal.
Even as Trump endlessly teases a Constitution-busting 2028 run of his own, the fatigue and detachment that followed the debacle of the well-financed 2024 campaign has burnt off under the glare of the MAGA administration’s chaotic and often cruel policies since returning to office. The result is the bandwagon effect that helped boost Clinton and Obama in previous cycles is revving up.
“Enthusiasm by L.A. donors is very strong and very encouraging, big checks are being written,” longtime Democratic insider James Costos insists, with a looming big DNC gathering in the City of Angels later this month. “It was a slow build early on as we recovered from the loss in November, but there has been momentum building, No Kings events, legal wins, the Kimmel effect, resistance growing and it’s turning into clear ways to fight back against the administration’s overreach and organize to win in 2026 and 2028,” the former Barack Obama-era ambassador to Spain and HBO exec says.

Gibson, if Hollywood is your measure. A Gibson - Downey ticket. Perhaps a Gibson - Costner, or Gibson - Reeves.
Praying thta every single cent (or is it a nickel now?) is totally wasted on this nutless, vile puke... IF California is any indication of what he’d do to America. America should run as fast as possible away from this evil, greasy-haired, nutless, little communist prick.
+1, l could not have put it better.
If Vivek were VP I think he could beat him.
I don’t think Vance can beat him. Even if Vance does beat him in 2028, I think Vance will lose in 2032. I think Vance is like GHW Bush and Pence.
Let the flaming begin...
Remember if he wins, they said the wanted someone who “would take no shit from Trump”. Likewise, we will take no shit from him, or any democrat. Ever!
I think you are wrong about Vance, he is no Pence. I do doubt he could win the general. While l do not trust Rubio l think he would have a much better chance of winning the Presidency but l don’t know if he can survive the primary.
Good. Let them waste million$ again like they did with Kamala.
Who really is getting paid, though? Not just Gay-vin...
Vance is Conservative, articulate, likable, strong, and brave beyond brave. A traditional American from a hard-scrabble upbringing and with clearly visible family values.
Vance has a good connection with the middle America folks, and will reel in voters from all strata. Vance will prevail in any and all debates.
And (DJT excepted, of course) United States presidents should be Military Veterans.
I think he will continue Trump's policies but my question is whether he has the charisma to hold together the MAGA Coalition. Right now, we have Trump and he is able to appeal to different blocs in the Coalition, it may all fall apart after the end of Trump's term.
As a resident of San Francisco with an unblemished record for *NOT* voting for The Gav for 22 years, I can’t wrap my head around the idea of this annoying jackass winning nationally. I get it that he’s got a big mouth, and he looks and dresses like Patrick Bateman in ‘American Pscyho’... but is that enough to win when his entire record is kowtowing to woke causes, incompetence and abysmal failure? Some might say, well, he can be kind of like a “white Obama.” I would argue that no, he can’t. Obama was able to snow people because he had no record as an executive, so folks were able to project their wishful thinking on a blank canvas.
Because they were so successful with kamalalaladingdong!
A FOOL & THEIR MONEY ARE EASILY PARTED
That’s true.
Making a lot of noise doesn't mean you're a fighter.
He’s Jen Bush for Democrats.
They’d have trouble finding a worse candidate than Newsome. But then we don’t call them stupid for nothing.
If we do not banish them, we're doomed.
That's putting it mildly.
Newsom still rubbing the magic lamp the pawn shop sold him knowing his dream will come true.
