The problem is it’s not obvious that it won’t work. Being a black women all else being equal loses you easily 5 percent of votes on its own. That’s an election. Newsome is a tall handsome white dude. People won’t have trouble “seeing him behind the desk”.
Trump and MAGA , in the midst of destroying the country , are also dragging the Overton window further right. The shittier they behave, the less the DNC feels the need for any radical change. Unfortunately, they could easily be right.
If it weren’t for covid, Joe Biden would have lost in 2020.
Newsome is younger yes. But he carries the same attitude towards policy as Joe Biden. And he won’t be running against Trump who is also old. He’ll be running against somebody like JD Vance who is in the same age bracket (or younger I’m not even sure how old that couch fucker is).
I personally think there’s going to be at least an attempt at a palace coup by Ron DeSantis once Trump is gone. He’s getting older, and he’s ambitious. I’m pretty sure he’ll beat Vance if he gets any momentum.

The problem is that centrists don’t care if it doesn’t work, as long as progressives aren’t allowed to run.
My dude, the only good things about Kamala are that she’s black, and she’s a woman.

And even then, he had to promise a bunch of shit he never intended to do in order to get the left on board.
Which he then (surprise!) didn’t do, which killed the party’s credibility.
Stuff he was even happy republicans either killed or made dems vote to kill

Florida might like Ron DeSantis. But literally everybody else in the entire country fucking hates that asshole.
Eh I feel like he’s a broken reed at this point. Abbott is a much stronger challenger but then again i doubt he’d be able to win nationally.
