It's not like she'll be the only identity-bait in an open primary if there is one. And if it comes down to Newsome versus Harris... yeah, he'll absolutely mop the floor with her.
Identity politics matters deeply to the most active, vocal Dem voters, and they comprise a small sliver of the voting public. Your average Joe Voter living a quiet, dignified life just doesn't give a rip.
Harris did a terrible job in the Dem primary yet ended up as VP. And if she's forced to fight Newsom she won't like it and it won't be pretty. But say Newsom does wins he'll probably go with Stacey Abrams. She's also a poor candidate and will likely have lost GA twice but she does have national name recognition. And being a Black woman she checks of the right boxes to offset Harris.
Newsom? California has seen better days. Much better days. I'm an ex-Californian (San Francisco) and he'll need every bit of a 1.5-2 billion war chest to sell himself outside of Dem strongholds.
You can put the link since the top 5 issues for the midterms are not the 2020 elections.
Why do you think they would vote for him if he runs again?????? Simple. Inflation, gas, border and crime. 4 topics that Democrats have failed. Are those good enough reasons?
Why would anyone in their right mind vote to re elect a former president that they voted out in the last election. They voted him out for a reason. They have moved on and are looking for a better candidate

Because many have realized the error of their ways in voting for a demented old man that has no idea what he’s doing and has created countless debacles in the last 18 months, and approval ratings have shown it. Aghan debacle, skyrocketing Bidenflation, skyrocketing violent crime, border crisis, etc…, along with war due to being able to keep the peace with foreign leaders like his predecessor is unpopular. Contrary to your belief, not everyone despises because Trump like yourself.

Biden chose Harris as his running mate, not the party voters. Not many of them were heard clamoring for her VP selection.
Newsom doesn't have to sell himself outside of Dem strongholds to become the nominee. Those are the places that overwhelmingly SELECT the nominee.

Buyers remorse. They realize they made a mistake voting for Biden. If 2024 is a rematch Trump should have a very good chance of winning esp. if the Rep have a big night this Nov.

I understand but why was she chosen after such a poor performance in the primaries? Because she's a Black woman and media darling. Besides if not her...who then? Warren? Don't think so. My guess is Stacey Abrams was runner up. Remember the VP slot had to be a woman

I was referring to the problems he'll face in a general election given Cal isn't what it used to be.
