Maybe nobody wanted to be his campaign manager for fear of Newsom hitting on their wives? ;-)

Moonbeam is in like Flynn, unless DiFi throws her hat in, I guess.

The actual text of his concession speech: “I’m withdrawing, whether you like it or not!” (thunderous applause)

Not sure if Moonbeam is ‘in.’ When more is revealed about him, he may be ‘out’ of the race as well.
That phone call taping business, and the personal life issues (though most in leftist CA wouldn’t care much about that) could cause him some trouble.

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, who has been seen as a leading contender to be the next governor of California, announced today that he is quitting the race.
Newsom is withdrawing from the Democratic primary amid lackluster poll numbers and meager fund-raising receipts. His withdrawal leaves state Atty. Gen. Jerry Brown, who is expected to run even though he has not officially entered the race, with little opposition in the Democratic primary.
----------
Although Newsom had been effectively running for more than a year, his campaign never gained much traction. Even in his hometown, which Newsom touted as a model of cutting-edge policies, his candidacy was widely derided among civic insiders.
----------
Newsom had repeatedly told those close to him that he did not want to embarrass himself in the governor's race.

Moonbeam is 100 times preferable to this Newsom scumbag. May even be preferable to RINO Meg Whitman.
