Quicker than you can manufacture enough ballots to win the Arizona governor’s race, Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom is already strapping on his metaphorical running shoes – and they’re aimed straight at the Oval Office in 2028.
Yes, after the trouncing of VP Kamala Harris by Donald J. Trump, because the left has completely lost their mind and is insane, progressive Democrat Newsom apparently didn’t get the memo that America rejects radical Dems, and looks to be all-in to be President No. 48.
Taking on Trump one California law at a time.
In an effort to show Trump who’s boss, Gov. Newsom is doing his best to be the head of the new resistance and is vowing to Trump-proof his state under the guise of “protecting” California values. Those values, it seems, include lots of fun things that he has come up with to chase Californians out the the state including welcoming illegal aliens, strict climate regulations and more.
On the social media platform X, Newsom said recently, “If our American values and freedoms are attacked, we will not stand idly by. California is ready to fight.” And in explaining how he’s going to fight, he said, “I just called an emergency special session to help bolster our legal resources and protect our state against any unlawful actions by the incoming Trump Administration.” Those protections, he explains, include everything from protecting reproductive freedoms (killing babies) to civil rights and climate action.
With Democratic leadership stumbling in the wake of the Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, and the Hillary Clinton coup against President Biden, the political vacuum begs for a new contender. Enter Gov. Newsom, racing at breakneck speed to stake his claim and fill the void.
Newsom’s carefully curated rhetoric reeks of campaign slogans in the making. “If our American values and freedoms are attacked, we will not stand idly by,” he proclaimed on X. (Translation: “I’m here to lead the resistance – and maybe take a victory lap straight into the White House.”). T-shirts and hats that say “Moving Forward…Because Backward is a Mess” are probably already in the works.
California dreaming… of the White House.
Gov. Newsom’s vocal declaration to defend California at every turn is a textbook move. Start with local and state issues, brand yourself as the fearless defender of progressive values and be Mr. Anti- Trump – and bam – you’re the next Democratic frontrunner before anyone else even has the time to decide if they want the job.
