Just taking California, Id say any one of Jerry Browns four terms outshines both of Newsoms (I am a California native)
On top of that, here are some other better governors than Newsom:
Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan- got more done in one year with a one seat majority in the legislature than Newsom has with supermajorities in both chambers
Tim Walz of Minnesota - effective, progressive Governor with the biggest heart you could ask for. Since losing last November, Walz has been going to red states/districts and holding town halls where the Republicans have been too scared to, instead of hosting MAGA minions on his podcast, as Newsom has done.
Also, neither Walz nor Whitmer have thrown trans people under the bus as Newsom has.
While I have been enjoying Newsoms trolling of Trump and aggressive response to the Texas redistricting, I dont think either of those means he is the Dems best choice for 2028.
Newsom isnt even in my top 10 for 2028.

(25,530 posts)The earlier we do, the sooner the R's have a target to lie about and scapegoat with the help of the media. But we should be evaluating all the possibilities based on what the wanna be candidate does to oppose this administration. And we should rally around anyone who is doing that to avoid giving any talking points to the media or the Rs. Plenty of time to pick our candidate after seeing all the options and what they offer!

(32,354 posts)We've seen the results of years of wimpy-ass, good-conduct Democratic tendencies---we have a filthy, gold-plated White House, along with about a million other things going down the toilet in this country. Get angry and hit the streets, Democrats!
