I always call him Governor hair gel. He is slick and dangerous. Could he beat Ron Desantis in a 2024 presidential election? Yes.
Newsom has no more charisma than Walter Mondale or Michael Dukakis who BOTH flopped as presidential candidates.
Newsom's supposed strength is a smoke & mirrors product of the rigged California voting system.
Compared to DeSantis he has "failure" stamped all over him. He's neither intelligent nor strategic.
