No Thank You.

I think it would be better to have many Dem voices speaking out against the harms of the second Trump administration, and let the spotlight shine on Trump and his lackeys.

Of course Newsom will be highly visible as the governor of the biggest state, and his state’s resistance will be critical in buoying the resistance of other states, and supporting the spirits of Dems in red states.

But that doesn’t mean we need to “pick” just one spokesperson. The midterms will be here soon enough, and after that, we’re off to the races for the primaries.

The chaos and damage of Trump 2.0 should be the focus of the next two years, not who the Democratic “chosen one” Will be.
