    If you follow CA politics, he isn’t as progressive as you would hope. He speaks money first. We don’t need anymore centrist elistist corporate dems.

    Newsom has always been a politician first, and now he sees the wind blowing MAGA and seems to be charting a MAGA-lite course. He has no principles or ethics, it’s all about what will bring him power.

    He’s going to run for president in 2028. With the number of people repeating the trope about how the anti-Trump coalition needs a straight white man, I worry that Newsom will actually be the candidate.

      Arguably his career is over: supposedly he can’t be re-elected.

      So what’s his next career or where does he want to pivot?

      • A lot of people have been expecting national office, but he’s been villainized by the right enough that maybe he’s trying to freshen his image. Somehow trumps tv show freshened his image, so his con man past of broken contracts, failing businesses, and ridiculous ego didn’t hurt his election
      • but a lot of former politicians do well as talking heads. Maybe that’s his gig
