    I don’t disagree with the premise, but who would it be? Kamala? I don’t see it. Liz? The Senate is already going to be a mess, plus superdelegates. Bernie? Ditto. Gretchen? Could only see it if Biden totally stopped functioning. In my perfect world, they’d call Russ Feingold back up to the Majors, but since that didn’t happen 20 years ago, it sounds like a much more remote possibility today.

        Newsom can’t win middle America. He’s seen as “Arrogant California Elite” outside the coasts. He’s a great candidate on paper and did amazing things for Cali even if there’s this he did I was infuriated by. But outside the coasts his image is sullied by his political history as a California governor.

        Additionally, Newsom is not running and wouldn’t even think of running unless Biden dropped out, which isn’t going to happen unless he has a tragic health event.
