Donald Trump Delivers Blow to Gavin Newsom's 2024 Chances

Former President Donald Trump would beat California Governor Gavin Newsom in a hypothetical 2024 matchup, according to a new projection of the presidential election.

Newsom has been floated as a possible alternative to President Joe Biden in the case he decides to drop out of the 2024 election, though the governor has downplayed speculation he could launch a primary challenge against him. Biden is facing concerns about his age, as well as new questions about his ability to connect with crucial voter groups, such as young voters, in crucial swing states that will determine the outcome of the 2024 election.

Trump, despite ongoing legal challenges, maintains a slight lead in the most critical battleground states ahead of 2024, several polls have now shown, sparking questions about whether Biden is the Democrats' best candidate. But a 2024 projection by Stack Data Strategy similarly found other Democratic contenders, including Newsom, may also face electability concerns in a matchup against the former president.

The projection found Trump leading Biden in the Electoral College, even if Biden is favored to win the popular vote, flipping back states including Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin in a head-to-head. In this scenario, Trump would win by a 292-246 margin.

Newsom, however, is poised to fare even worse than Biden, according to Stack Data Strategy's projection.

In addition to losing the same swing states as Biden, the projection also showed Newsom losing Maine, Michigan, Nevada and New Hampshire, all states also won by Biden in 2020, against Trump.

Newsweek reached out to Newsom's political team and Trump's campaign for comment via email.

The projection is a blow to Newsom's speculated presidential aspirations. Although Newsom has not announced any plans to run for president, he has worked to build his national name recognition through a series of events, including his plans to debate Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a Republican challenging Trump in the party's presidential primary.

Newsome doesn’t need pulling or even voters. All he needs is to control the counting which Democrats currently do.

October 5, 2020: “Joe Biden said that his campaign has put together ‘the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization’ in American political history.”

Future history reported today...

October 5, 2024: “Gavin Newsom said that his campaign has put together ‘the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization’ in American political history.”

~~~

That’s now.
The media can’t prop Biden up anymore. The dissonance between the propaganda and reality is just too much, even for the willing idiots to believe.

But outside of California, Newsome is clay to be molded.

Hmmm. Both Biden and Newsome are getting trashed in the polls.

Here comes Big Mike.

Means nothing. Dems control election day and the vast majority of ignorant voters have not been introduced to Gavin Newsome by the MSM yet.

The Democrats do not feel that they have to accept this.

They believe they are justified in using any means necessary.

Only our side is bound by any rules.

He will be introduced as "St. Gavin the Cute, dreamy saviour of Our Democracy from Orange Man Bad."

California is a disaster state and in a state of decay. RATs led by Newsome have turned a beautiful and prosperous state into a 3rd world dump.

Saw a YouTube video of the Capitol City Sacremento. Saw a tour of all the empty and boarded up businesses that used to be there.

Why is it that people want to live like this?

in the case he decides to drop out of the 2024 election


I am surprised that the Democrats don’t use the 25th Amendment to get Biden out of office. No one would question that Biden is mentally unfit.

Of course then we would have Harris, but really could she be any worse?

Therein lies the major problem. The Left has zero morals and no guilt about doing evil in the service of achieving their political goals which are paramount. Considering they are the party which promotes baby-killing and the sexual abuse and mutilation of children, massive election fraud seems like a small thing by comparison.

"he has worked to build his national name"

He already has national name recognition.

This is the number 1 issue nation wide (IMHO). No matter Trump’s poll numbers (if anything that will motivate them), I still believe the current Regime will never relinquish power except through a hot war. They are Marxists and even most Republicans are ok with globalism. Whatever it takes the Left will do. I’m not even sure America will survive until next November. The Left has almost all the cards. A declaration of war, a new pandemic, a state of national emergency with a declaration of marshal law, etc., etc. And, of course, there is always the assassination of Trump option. I believe the current admin. is capable of anything to retain power. I would love to be proven wrong.

The betting markets don’t currently support this poll. Newsom is viewed by bettors as highly electable.

Not to worry, he will be Biden’s VP pick. A month after Biden wins in an unprecedented landslide - due mostly to the new voter vote, aka the illegal vote - JB will step down and Newsome will be President.

I guess we’ll find out if Joe’s dropping out and Newsome’s stepping in to replace him, after their job interviews with Xi, in San Francisco.

Isn’t Newsom meeting with Xi in San Francisco, the head of China to recruit his support, and Tik Tok, and the China propaganda machine?

Bingo. Trump could get 80% but he will still only end up with 45% after the votes are counted.
