Newsom is too radical and an easy target after his failed policies in California.
Some suggest a return of Hillary. That's possible but she lost once and isn't liked by the general public. I can't see her beating Trump.
Only hope they have is Michelle Obama. Then again, she might pull some the black and female vote back. But undecided and independents don't like her much. I think she is there best option, but I'm not sure she even wants it.
Honestly, the Dems are cooked. I think they go with the old man, count there loses, and reload for 2028.
