What do you make of the numerous media stories that Gavin Newsom will run for president in 2024

He has denied it, but the news machine doesn't let it go, such as this story from hours ago:


It was the second decisive statewide victory for Newsom in barely a year. In September 2021, he easily beat back an attempt to kick him out of office that was fueled by anger over his pandemic policies. The failed recall solidified Newsom’s political power in California, leaving him free to focus on the future — which many expect will include a run for the White House.

“I think that he becomes one of the highest-profile Democrats in the country, given there is very likely going to be divided government in Washington D.C., and the Democrats will be looking for any and all allies to promote their agenda,” said Matt Barreto, a UCLA political science professor. “And Gov. Newsom will have a very large platform from California to do that.”

Aren't you a big part of the problem, Chuck Grassley?

Yes! Yes, you are!

Chuck Grassley is asking for donations to "Save Iowa." Democrat Mike Franken who is running against him and polling neck and neck with him points out Chuck Grassley has been representing Iowa for 63 years.
