He may have positioned himself as an early frontrunner, but I think this pronouncement is quite premature tritsofme Nov 2025 #2

Who else then? dem4decades Nov 2025 #9

It's just too early, we don't know who will make the race. tritsofme Nov 2025 #10

I agree it's early but he has shot out of the gate, everyone else is spinning their wheels. dem4decades Nov 2025 #15

I don't think anyone can dispute his frontrunner status. tritsofme Nov 2025 #19

I second with JB. LuvLoogie Nov 2025 #58

I agree with you, but I see events leading up Haggard Celine Nov 2025 #11

It would help her cause to win a statewide election first. Certainly likely there will be an opportunity for her in the themaguffin Nov 2025 #26

It's only 2025. nt Gore1FL Nov 2025 #8

Well, he'd certainly get my vote. ananda Nov 2025 #12

Read a bio of Newsome's wife and she seems amazingly sharp, fwiw. nt allegorical oracle Nov 2025 #39

She's definitely a good one. ananda Nov 2025 #54

Can't he go be a Senator or something? leftstreet Nov 2025 #13

Sure he can Bobstandard Nov 2025 #21

Probably not a Senator in CA though ITAL Nov 2025 #46

It depends on his ability to connect in the primary Buckeyeblue Nov 2025 #16

A strong contender for sure. BannonsLiver Nov 2025 #17

I'd vote for him. Happy Hoosier Nov 2025 #22

I like him (if we can't have a woman president). He will staff his admin. with progressive women and men who know what CTyankee Nov 2025 #23
