Yea of course, it’s the person who sees the issue who’s at fault.
This is a good call.
Newsom has said, unequivocally, that he will not run for President 24 and I think he sticks to that.
Very easy for him to revisit this if Biden announces he is not running for re-election.
What one finds palatable, another might deem unacceptable. Given that out of hundreds of posters that frequented that thread, including modmins that basically camped there daily, none found my sense of humour homophobic, there might just be the tiniest chance that you two are the ones making mountains out of molehill.
You can't take this sort of thing at face value given that they all squirm out of the question when asked, especially if running for reelection in their current jobs.
I was wondering who was where in that hypothetical ticket. We’ll see what happens in the primary of course but I’d have Newsom over Pete myself
Agreed
The usual caveat that Gavin will do well as long as Kim Guilfoyle does't spoon feed Roger Stone and Steve Bannon with something totally disqualifying.

In the immortal words of Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross - ‘A loser is a loser.’
Hasn’t Biden already announced he plans to run in 2024?
Not officially.
It is more about him announcing he won't run. President with one term is always expected to run. Poor mid terms and pressure would have increased on him to drop it. As it is, if Trump says he is running then I think he will definitely run again and that too without any Dem opposition.
He said yesterday's he's considering it and will likely make his decision by early 2023.
In reality, he's waiting for Trump to make his decision before deciding. If Trump runs, there's a very good chance Biden does as well. If Trump doesn't run, then there's a decent chance Biden will step aside and let another Dem run. Both Biden and Trump have been locked in this standoff for some time, which should continue until Trump makes his move, either next week or whenever.
Oh maybe I misunderstood then. The following on BBC:
“Buoyed by the better-than-expected night, Mr Biden said he plans to stand for re-election in 2024. "Our intention is to run again, that's been our intention," Mr Biden, who turns 80 this month, told reporters.”
I know he’s left it “open” by saying intention rather than officially announcing it though.

Mmmkey? Didnt attack biden
Why am I so invested in this? It's not even my country and I'd celebrate a Boebert loss harder than a United win.
It has become such a divided country that people vote for their party, regardless of the candidate. Porter is awesome and her losing her seat would suck.
Do you see there being pressure on Biden to give up after his first term?
The one, and only time, the entire country will agree with BoBo
Pressure from who ? As POTUS, he ultimately controls the party apparatus and can decide whatever he wants to do. If he himself decides its time to retire, then I'm sure he will that. But that would be informed by what Trump does, not what random establishment Dems want.
Newsom-Whitmer would be my preferred ticket too. However, I feel that if Kamala runs, Newsom won’t run, in which case we will probably get Kamala-Buttigieg. While I like both of them to some degree, I do not see Kamala as a particularly strong candidate especially if GOP runs someone else than Trump (Desantis).
Newsom has no loyalty to Harris. He will do his own thing.
Harris being VP, from the same state as him would probably mean donors will favor her. Newsom can then wait for another cycle as governor of the most important state in the US.
I hope he runs though (as long as Trump’s insane daughter in law does not have something really bad on him).
No one is going to favor Harris about anything. She's unelectable and generally unlikeable, so she will fade into the distance, just like Mike Pence would if he ran on the other side.
Encouraging but unlikely. It would however be quite a spectacle if the queen of bumblefeck idiocy, Lauren Boebert, winds up gifting the house to the Dems.
Does this guy have any prior forecasting that he's gotten correct? I don't remember him being posted here during the 2020 election
First time I ever saw a tweet of his was two days ago around 300P, the one that said Dems would win the senate with a gain. No clue who he is, but don’t think he’s been incorrect thus far.
It can be done…
