13. I agree that Newsom would be a tough sell on national stage. Whitmer/Shapiro would be a good combo.

I don't know where Kamala will figure in. I like her and think she would be a good President but seems to have negatives that I don't hear verbalized but seem real to many. I think for certain people, including maybe more Dems than we would like to admit, voting for a woman or anyone of color is still a reach they won't make.
