Newsom is exactly what Democrats need right now — a fighter willing to take on Trump's authoritarian tactics head-on. While other politicians wag fingers, he's actively countering Republican power grabs and using Trump's own social media style to expose the ridiculousness of the president.

Newsom's decades-long failures are glaring: California's homelessness crisis festered under his watch, while crime soared due to his soft-on-enforcement policies. His pandemic hypocrisy, which saw him dine lavishly while citizens suffered, exposed his elitism. Newsom is political incompetence manifest.
