The story didn't appear in such periodicals as Breitbart or the Blaze or National Review. Instead, quite shockingly, it appeared on Thursday in Atlantic magazine where assistant editor Marc Novicoff and Jonathan Chait went full smackdown on Newsom. The authors are both liberals but they fear that Newsom, with his disastrous record in the Golden State, is sure to cause a horrible electoral loss for the Democrats in 2028 should he become that party's presidential nominee.
So fasten your seatbelts as Novicoff and Chait sound remarkably like 2028 GOP attack ads in "Gavin Newsom’s Record Is a Problem."

He’s a phony. As likable as Al Gore and John Kerry. I think people will see through that. His record doesn’t concern leftist voters otherwise Walz would resign by now and not wait for his term to end.
Hillary?
Newsom’s anti-petroleum and anti-gun stances alone should kill any chance of him winning a presidential race.
When you’ve lost Jonathan Chait....
This is a ‘demonstrable’ ‘lie’ from Gavin Newsom, political commentator alleges

Hillary in 2028? Would Democrats really recycle 81 year old Hillary Clinton in 2028?
“The story didn’t appear in such periodicals as Breitbart”
It will next week with a “BREAKING” banner.
“When you’ve lost Jonathan Chait....”
Some how, some way, we must force democrats to nominate Newsom.
The only thing I can think of is to attack Newsom resulting in a sympathetic democrat knee-jerk reaction; they will nominate him without thinking.
I know it is a dirty trick but I don’t think it is illegal.
The Atlantic coming down hard on gruesome newsom is surprising.
“Hillary in 2028? Would Democrats really recycle 81 year old Hillary Clinton in 2028?”
Democrats have several in the stable.
First, there is Joe Biden.
Or, Hunter Biden - he has been pardoned.
Then there is Kamala.
Ol’ Jazz Hands.
Gavin Newsom’s Political Record is not at all difficult to shred.
In case you haven’t all noticed, Kamala Harris is leading Newsom in three of the last five polls (RCP).
The democRAT Primary Debates are going to be a glorious fiasco. They will tear into each other in no holds barred ways.
Remember when Que Mala went after Biden’s racist past? Jill Biden is still seething.
If Newsom was a woman he’d be an air-head bimbo... Maybe true believers at Atlantic have figured that out.
The stench of a loser, I doubt he’ll run sometimes.
I’m sure AOC will be in there somewhere. The rainbow-haired contingency absolutely *adores* her.
Good point! Perhaps give Harris another chance?
