While I'd support a Newsom run, I feel like he's never going to get strong support from the Progressive side of the party and they'll sink one of the few viable candidates.
Also thats 2028.. 2026 midterms look grim.
- seanmcdirmid 11mo agoThe Democrats haven't run anyone but moderates since Bill Clinton, so I'm pretty sure that won't happen unless they do finally decide to run a progressive (which is still much less likely than running another moderate).
- dangus 11mo ago2026 midterms really don’t look grim at all so long as they actually happen and restricting doesn’t destroy the gains that the democrats will inevitably pick up. And I mean inevitably in the strongest way possible. This happens at basically every midterm with the opposition party picking up seats and republicans barely control Congress as it is.
