The person that their process puts forward.

Probably a better question to ask who will run for the Republicans. They have nobody who isn't compromised. The party is comprised of liars toads and cowards mostly incompetent. 

NewScum

California’s a Mess Under His Watch
Newsom’s governorship is slammed as a disaster, with California’s problems weaponized as proof he’d tank the country.

Homelessness hit a record high in 2024, with encampments clogging cities despite Newsom’s $24 billion spent on the issue.

Folks call him “the worst thing that ever happened to California,” blaming him for prolonged COVID lockdowns (2020-2023) that crushed businesses and lives.

Crime’s another sore spot—smash-and-grab robberies and a 2023 crime rate spike compared to national trends give ammo to critics who say he’s soft on law enforcement.

John Cox’s book The Newsom Nightmare paints California as a “poster child for government dysfunction,” with a budget ballooning from $100 billion in 2010 to over $300 billion by 2023 despite flat population growth.

Hypocrisy and Elitism

Newscum caught flak for flouting his own rules. In 2020, he dined maskless at the French Laundry, a ritzy restaurant, while preaching strict COVID restrictions to Californians.

Folks call him a “hypocrite,” pointing to this and his kids attending private school during public school closures. His San Francisco elite background—wine mogul, Getty family ties—fuels perceptions he’s out of touch with regular people.

Critics brand him a “sociopathic liar” who plays reasonable while dodging accountability for California’s woes.

Low Approval and Voter Rejection

NewScums approval ratings are in the gutter.

A 2025 Emerson College poll showed 59% of Californians don’t want him running for president in 2028, with 78% of Republicans and 75% of independents opposed. His overall approval was a dismal 33%, with 42% disapproving. A

2023 Quinnipiac poll found 70% of California voters, including 54% of Democrats, against a 2024 run.
Critics argue he’s “too Californian,” tied to a liberal caricature that alienates swing states like the Rust Belt.

Budget Disasters and Economic Mismanagement

California’s $22.5 billion budget deficit in 2023 and a projected $73 billion shortfall in 2024 are pinned on Newsom’s reckless spending.

Critics, including Republican Matt Shupe, say he’s mismanaged the state into a fiscal hole, with high taxes and regulations driving businesses and residents out—California lost population four years running through 2023.

Critics mock his handling of a $300 billion budget, claiming he’d bankrupt the nation. His push for a $16 billion water tunnel project sparked outrage from local communities, seen as a boondoggle for special interests.

San Francisco Stigma

NewScums San Francisco roots are a massive liability. Critics, like Matt Shupe, say the U.S. won’t elect another Bay Area liberal after Kamala Harris’s 2024 loss.

His tenure as mayor (2004-2011) is ridiculed for failing to curb homelessness—his 10-year plan to end it flopped, with encampments worse than ever.

GOP operatives would plaster campaign ads with images of San Francisco’s “squalid” streets, warning Newsom would turn America into California’s dystopia.

Progressive Policies Scare Moderates

NewScums left-leaning record—moratorium on the death penalty, phasing out gas-powered cars by 2035, and sanctuary state policies—makes him radioactive to moderate and conservative voters.

His push for a constitutional amendment on gun control and healthcare limits for undocumented immigrants alienated even some Democrats.

Recall Election Baggage

NewScum barely survived a 2021 recall election, with 38% voting to oust him. Critics, including recall organizer Randy Economy, argue this shows even Californians distrust him.

Critics claim the election was “rigged,” and his 2022 re-election (59% margin) doesn’t erase the stench of voter discontent.

His opposition to a 2024 tough-on-crime measure, which voters passed overwhelmingly, further paints him as out of step.

National Profile Stunts Backfire

NewScum’s attempts to go national—debating Ron DeSantis on Fox News, running ads in red states, launching a $10 million PAC—look like naked ambition.

Critics call his 2028 campaign obvious, accusing him of downplaying California’s failures while posturing as a Trump foe.

His podcast, “This is Gavin Newsom,” featuring MAGA figures like Steve Bannon, is slammed as a cynical rebrand to seem centrist, fooling no one.

Personal Scandals

NewScum’s  personal life is fodder for critics. His 2007 affair with his campaign manager’s wife while San Francisco mayor dogged his early career.

The Newsom Nightmare dredge it up, painting him as untrustworthy. Allegations of allowing illegal child labor on a marijuana farm (linked to his business interests) and blocking out-of-state fire agencies over emissions standards fuel “corrupt” and “hypocrite” charges.

Just watch yourself, because I am. Anymore crap and its see ya later.

I think it would be best for the dems not to spend so much money next time. Looks like the bar tab for Kamala ended up over $1,500,000,000. Can they afford to run a challenger to Vance.
