To paraphrase Jan Brady of the Brady Bunch, lately it’s been “Newsom, Newsom, Newsom” all day long.
He’s been at the Vatican for a climate summit, and in Alpharetta, Georgia, for a televised debate with Florida governor Ron DeSantis. He’s all over the TV, actually – on Fox News and MSNBC, and in advertisements airing in Tennessee.
And ever since Joe Biden’s catastrophic performance at the first presidential debate on CNN, his name has popped up in nearly every list of possible successors. With just four months to go until the presidential election, chances that the president would step aside now are exceedingly remote – but that hasn’t stopped the speculation. Online political betting odds that Gavin Newsom, the California governor, would end up at the top of the presidential ticket this year tripled to a one-in-four chance last week.
For the ambitious governor of the most populous US state, this crowning moment has been a long time in the making.

If we do not get the right person to pick up the pieces and make this nation great again.. The forces that be, will make this nation unrecognizable.
And we will be saying, “even so. Lord Jesus, come.”
Another loony toon. Crazier than a boat full of bananas.
Lots of people want it.
Doesn’t matter. BeijingBiden never accomplished anything, either. He has been a pedo, grifter, liar, and bozo for 40+ years.
Which made him ideal.
Everyone's?
Yeah, vote for Newsome if you want every state in the US to end up like California. 🙄
Trump can beat the guy that has f’d up California just as easily as he can the guy who has done the same to the whole country.
