Y'all think Newsom would have a chance in 2028?
Probaly not.
He has a lot more of a shot than the majority of people that will be throwing their hats in, though.
How 2026 goes will probably have a very large impact on who has a chance really.
The Politically Active class of the party is a Black Female Leader Death Cult, Kamala Harris is still the front runner, but she can probably be safely sidelined(killed, maybe just politically) if they have another one lined up. I think this is Jasmine Crockett's role and why she's been getting so much national airtime.
Pelosi is obviously backing Newsom as a political dynasty, but Pelosi is half in the grave and mostly hated by even her own party. I don't think she has the power to push him all the way through like Hillary. Newsom is better than other straight white(ish) males like Shapiro and Pritzker, being free of direct Jewish connections.
Most likely there will have to be a compromise candidate. That's what Joe Biden was. He was a White Male but he had the stink of Obama, but he also was bullied into a Black Female VP. But he was enough that parties could rally with, or at least swallow with just a grimace.
Jasmine Crockett has a high chance of completely burning out to the normies of the party like Kamala did. Newsom will be rejected by the people that work in the party and their social and conventional media cohort. If sheboons are unelectable, and white males are unacceptable, that leaves some options. Gretchin Whitmer, Corey Booker, and Pete Buttgag fill these roles currently. Whitmer has been pretty quiet since 2024, either she wants to be forgotten before going back on the national stage or she has backed out of her previous posturing. Corey Booker is obviously theater kidding it up for a run, doing the filibuster, talking out against the Party not being radical enough. He's a man, but at least he's Black. He's a homo, but he's at least in the closet and low info nigger voters won't know. Pete Buttigeg doesn't have that advantage. He's a White Man so the progs will hate him, he's a fag so he's ballot box poison, but I've heard Obama likes him a lot. Obama probably doesn't have the clout to completely force him through, but he might be able to convince enough that he's the best of bad options, and the hubris to think that niggers will still go to the polls to vote for a faggot.
It's entirely likely the frontrunner near the end of 2027 is little known at this time though. If Trump keeps the House and Senate, the Progs will be absolutely livid that they aren't in charge. They do not realize their stealing of the nomination and horribly mismanaged campaign was their fault. They think the party should go further in their direction. They probably will not accept a compromise and stay home if the Party pushes through a moderate candidate like Newsom. If they do get the House, I suspect it will be a long stretch of Theater Kid antics in the House and whoever can sperg and be a thorn in Trump's side the most will have a good chance of being the frontrunner.
