uestions have been raised as to whether Gavin Newsom should replace President Joe Biden as the 2024 Democratic nominee, but polls suggest the California governor would still lose to Donald Trump.
Fears over Biden's reelection hopes increased following the president's performance during the CNN debate on Thursday.
During the debate, Biden, who has faced concerns about his age as he seeks a second term, gave a number of incoherent and confusing responses to questions while also trailing off and not completing his sentences. Biden's voice also appeared hoarse, which his campaign team said was due to a cold.
The performance prompted calls from some Democrats for Biden to stand down and allow another candidate to seek the 2024 nomination at the Democratic National Convention in August. Newsom, long seen as a future Democratic White House hopeful, has already dismissed suggestions he or anyone else is hoping to replace Biden as the party's nominee.
Even if Biden were to stand down—essentially the only way he will not be the Democratic Party nominee in November—the polls available suggest Newsom would lose to Trump.

“of any Biden replacement candidate, demonstrably changing the dynamic. 40-45% of the country will vote for any candidate with a “D” after their name, so ANY replacement would be immediately viable. The media would then push that percentage higher.”
I agree, Biden was the BEST THING we had going for us, and TRUMP BLEW IT, by allowing this debate in June/July, rather than September.
There’s also arranging for his death.
I hope Newsom IS the Democrat choice to replace Biden in 2024 - although I think they’re eyeing him for 2028 so they can dump Kamala Harris.
He will bring such things as $20/hour minimum wage nation wide, since it worked out so well in the state of California:
Hoover Institute:
“California Loses Nearly 10,000 Fast-Food Jobs After $20 Minimum Wage Signed Last Fall”
A party whose only card to play is identity politics cannot nominate a white male with a black woman waiting in the wings.
0% because he cant win Penn
My great hope is a 25th Amendment removal of Biden, which puts Kamala in, but all the wannabe Dems fighting for the nomination. That’s popcorn time. But the Dems know it. So they have to either unite behind someone, or keep riding the anti-Malarky bus off a cliff.
The DNC is actually fundraising on You Tube videos that I watch! I don’t want to just skip the ads. I want to write something obscene in the donation slot and give them a fake credit card to chew on. But the damned Biden IT guys have blocked it! Sometimes it’s Brandon himself. Sometimes it’s Jill. Every time, I feel helpless and violated, because I can’t f@#$ with them.

It’s always about the party not the person Biden and Harris are proof of it.
“The usual suspects are like the cast of a freak show, each one displaying one grotesque deformity after another. Gavin Newsom we understand: the party’s base of bats**t-crazy women may all want to bear his child, but that limbic instinct to mate with a six-foot-three haircut-in-search-of-a-brain might not work with any other voter demographic — and Newsom has the failed state of California hanging around his neck. All Mr. Trump would have to do is broadcast the scene from a San Francisco street-cam on “X” (Twitter) 24/7.” — James Howard Kunstler
He’d normally carry California, Oregon, Washington, Illinois and New York, all because of the perverse demographics that make the big cities in those states outweigh the suburbs and countryside, and the fact that the urban idiots like San Francisco’s decay, think of it as a role model. The only hope for that is for Donald to campaign heavily among the minority population. The Bronx Rally could be duplicated on the South Side of Chicago, East LA, Portland and Seattle. Keep hitting on their abused but indispensable minority population, offering them a better life. With the cities no longer monolithically Dem, the good ol’ boys and the home boys become allies.
Noisome is slick, quick witted, and good looking. He'll get full backup on all the lies he'll spew. He's a lock on the suburban housewife vote.
Pelosie’s working on that.
Newsom is a proven alky. The press protects him, but they can’t do that if he runs for the presidency.
Gruesome would actually cut it pretty close and save some down-ticket races but only if the marxists figured out a way for Karamela to save face gracefully, and that fugly bitch ain’t built that way.
Kamala ain’t leaving.
Let’s take a poll!
WOW! Carter is beating Reagan!
Agreed. Down with the ghost ship!
It’s absolutely amazing what makeup can do on a man.
If they drag this out, and bring in Newsom late, he will get positive reception, as a rescue for the dems. Flashy, young new guy. Able to speak, the opposite of Joe.
And then no time to drill down and expose him.
Kind of like the unknown Barry O.
But conservative CA knows all about him. Blue CA knows a lot, too, but may still vote for him to get him out of CA.
