I don't see Harris winning the nomination, nor Newsom.

I think the best candidate -- and best president -- would be Buttigieg but think he'd have to be on a ticket as VP first. Too much homophobia in America.

I still like Cory Booker or Buttigieg. But I'm stuck in 2020...

Newsom would have trouble winning his home state these days, and that goes back longer than some people think. There was a reason why some Republicans on this board were suggesting that the Dems should run Newsom this past election, when it was a question. From a Nov. 7, 2023 LA Times article:

SACRAMENTO — Gov. Gavin Newsom’s standing among California voters has hit an all-time low, with 49% disapproving of his performance as governor, according to a new UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll co-sponsored by the Los Angeles Times.

The survey showed Newsom’s popularity has tumbled this year as he continues to amplify his national profile and campaign outside of the Golden State to support President Biden and attack Republican governors and their conservative political agendas.

Newsom’s approval rating was 44% in the late October poll, an 11-point slide from February when 55% of voters approved of his performance. His disapproval among California voters increased 10 percentage points from earlier this year.

I don't think Newsom will be the guy in 2028. He would have a lot of work to do to get there.
