I’m guessing he’s the nominee if we have another election.

He's angling for it, but I'm far from clear that he'd win a competitive Democratic primary.

I don't think he would perform that well. He has decent support in California running against Republicans, but those who are against him are REALLY REALLY against him because of his general heavy-handedness, and he doesn't win too much love from the real left either.

That said, he had handled a lot of things (especially covid) swiftly and decisively enough that support could be drummed up without that much effort. It wouldn't be a sweeping blow out, but it would be possible.

tl;dr for people not in california. hes a heavy system democrat, so progressives dont really like him, but he runs on charisma which is something important for elections.

Yeah those were the words I was looking for honestly. He is a good "stop the bleeding" kinda candidate but you ain't gonna get any Bernie Energy out of him.

I hope not. We need an actual progressive to try and run. Newsom IMO is a corporate centrist posing as a coastal liberal, in the same vein as Feinstein. Lots of liberal friends but when the chips are down they choose to support big businesses and not the people living in their state.

I’d have been all for mayor Gavin but then he decided to be a centrist corpo lover.
