I agree with you about the Gov — don’t always agree with him but overall he’s been good. I will watch his future with interest and no particular prejudgments (which is pretty much what I’ve been saying about AOC)

It does disturb me a bit that so many here have jumped all over Newsom without any knowledge about his record other than his long-ago ex-wife and his current trial at podcasts. It’s almost like there’s an agenda somewhere to whittle down the Democratic bench.
