    This comes off very bad for her. Who wants a candidate that isn’t entirely committed or interested in the office they might run for?

    californian here. i hope she portrays being more progressive than she did in her presidential campaign. she seems very politically conservative for wanting the governorship here.

      I mean, your current governor just invited Charlie Kirk on his podcast to bash trans people together, and I haven’t read that he’s going to be forced out of office in disgrace, so…

        I mean he already can’t run again because of term limits, so nobody needs to force him out of office.

          Oh cool, so in your last term you can just do whatever you want and it’s all good?

              Do you think “force out of office” means passively wait until the next election where you then defeat them at the ballot box?

                  What? Do you base your “literally” statements on just gut feelings?

                  There are multiple ways a governor of California can be removed from office. There was literally already a recall election against this governor, there’s also impeachment, and good old fashion pressure to resign from the public and leadership.

    California deserves someone that represents them for once, not another neoliberal who will always move as far right as they can get away with.

      California is neoliberal with a thin veneer of progressivism painted on by leftist at a thickness that chips constantly in most places.

    WTF? Aren’t there other people that can become president or governor? In the case of Trump rocks and organic molecules?

    Isn’t it obvious? Harris is running for Governor, because Newsom is running for President.

    Which will be hilarious if Trump Jr. also runs for President, because his (former) long-time fiancee was also Newsom’s ex-wife. Kimberly Guilfoyle will be hitting the interview circuit big-time as the ex-partner of both candidates.

      Newsome just launched a podcast and glazed the fuck out of his first guest: Charlie Kirk

      No fucking WAY that guy needs to be president

          Yeah, kinda? It’s a metaphor for just absolutely talking someone or something up incessantly. Basically just cumming all over the place about them. Similar to “riding”, in that regard.

    I want someone who doesn’t seek approval from conservatives. She can fuck off and collect speakers fees for the rest of her life for all I care.

      She would still be better than Newsom. That’s a pretty low bar though.

        Do we know he’s going to run as a Democrat? Seems like someone who was a Democrat wouldn’t initiate their podcast with TPUSA and railing against trans people.

    Why? She has been person non grata since the election and has completely checked out. Unless she thinks the ballot initiative to make California a nation will work
