I think that Newsom is the more likely last minute Biden replacement. The Dems could easily go with Big Mike. But a backlash has been brewing... evidenced by everything woke going broke in the last year. This is a phenomenon not easily recognized by establishment Republicans who are always the last to catch on to any new trend. But the Dems know. Newsom will be portraying himself as a moderate in the next few months. It is a little harder for Big Mike because she has a well known record.
NEWSOM APPLYING HIS ECONOMIC POLICIES WILL BANKRUPT THE COUNTRY ALL THE QUICKER.
CALIF went from a LARGE SURPLUS to an even LARGER DEFICIT IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS.
Imagine this: Newsom asking Nikki Haley to be his veep. If she says no, the D’s tried to work together with the Reps, who are old, far-right MAGA and must be defeated. If she says yes, she is as useless as Kamala.
Trump is on a roll and they know it. Watch for something very creative.
