I agree that Newsom is a pure leftist who will likely always put America and the average traditional working class American last while he focuses on 'wokeism' and other leftist ideology that has proved to be detrimental to everybody, even those anomalies that are its sacred cows to advantage over all others.
Nevertheless Newsom governs a state that is the largest sub-national economy in the world. If California was a country it would have the fifth or sixth largest economy in the world. The left will sell that as he is imminently qualified to be President and the media will help him sell it. He will be a dangerous candidate.
