Depends on what the Democrat Politburo wants. If there is no single Stalin like leader they will install a puppet with no danger of having a mind of its own. Camel Harris fills that bill. Installing Newsome might seem to be a natural but Newsom may be in competion to be the new Stalin and the politburo may not be ready for that. Or they may.
You do have a point. But Camel is an extreme empty suit. At least Biden has a resume and has polled well (if any of that’s real) at times. I’m not sold Newsom is it, either. Too white, too male, etc. Obungo is a king maker in this dynamic too…
Obama and Valerie would have it easier with Fetterman in the Oval Office, than Newsom or anyone who can speak for themself.
