California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom desperately wants to run for president- now rather than later.
After all, Newsom, for reasons I discuss in my new book, “As Goes California,” beat back a recall attempt. Polls show most Democrats want a candidate other than President Joe Biden, whose poll numbers remain in the tank. Over 60% of Americans consider the country on the wrong track. Biden’s cognitive decline is on full and public display, forcing staffers to limit Biden’s public appearances and restrict interaction with the media.
Why, then, doesn’t Newsom announce? He faces four obstacles: Joe Biden, Jill Biden, Kamala Harris, and Gavin Newsom.
First, Biden. He enjoys the job, having sought it unsuccessfully two previous times. He wanted to run again in 2016, but former President Barack Obama discouraged it. Biden also did not want to hinder what most assumed would be the coronation of the first female president. Biden thought the time had passed him by. But Donald Trump shocked the world, defeated Hillary Clinton, and allowed Biden to saddle up again. So, if he can fog up a mirror, he runs for reelection.
Second, Dr. Jill. She enjoys the job. Near the end of her stint as first lady, Michelle Obama told Oprah Winfrey that she wanted a “normal” life. But Dr. Jill Biden hovers approvingly over her husband like an Avenger, guiding him, running interference, and doing whatever it takes to get him through his day.
Third, Harris. Her poll numbers look bad, and she dropped out before the first presidential primary in 2020. But she ran for San Francisco district attorney, California attorney general, and for reelection, U.S. Senate and vice president, winning each time.
She checks the identity party’s boxes as a female who identifies as black. After winning the 2020 Nevada caucuses the self-described Democrat-socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders became the Democrat frontrunner. Alarmed, South Carolina’s Rep. James Clyburn endorsed Biden on the eve of the South Carolina primary when most had given him up for dead. Clyburn extracted a promise: Make your first Supreme Court nominee a black female.
Blacks are the most loyal part of the Democrat base. Black Democrat females outnumber black Democrat males and are even more loyal than black males, 20% of whom voted in 2020 for Trump. The first 2024 democrat primary is South Carolina, where 60% of the Democrat primary voters are black. Black voters love Harris, especially black females. They consider the ridicule over Harris’ so-called cackle sexist and racist. They feel Biden burdened her with the insulting task of finding the “root cause” of illegal immigration when the root cause of the entry of millions of illegal immigrants under Biden is Biden. A recent Los Angeles Times poll found Harris’s favorability rating at 39%, two points below that of Biden. But in a recent YouGov poll, Harris, among blacks, had a 70% approval rating, which is undoubtedly even higher among black females.
Newsom, when it appeared that California Democrat Sen. Dianne Feinstein might not complete her term, promised to appoint a black female replacement. He did. And now, with a black female Democrat poised to become the first female president of any color, Newsom knows a white man cannot swoop in and displace Harris. If he tries, without Harris agreeing to step aside, black Democrat females would explode — but not to the point where they would vote Republican. Many would just sit it out, guaranteeing a Republican victory.
Fourth, Newsom. What prescription does the hyper-lefty offer to Americans concerned about inflation, gas prices, wage growth, and inability to keep pace with inflation, crime, and porous borders? Did Newsom criticize Biden’s reckless spending and his inflation-inducing war on oil and gas? Please. Newsom wants California to go further and ban the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035. During his two terms as mayor, homelessness exploded in his hometown, San Francisco. He supports soft-on-crime DAs and policies like cashless bail. Newsom’s California is a sanctuary state, and he expanded the number of illegal aliens eligible for taxpayer-funded health care. After Biden’s disastrous, world-destabilizing pullout from Afghanistan, Newsom said: “I’m incredibly proud of him.”

Democrats are stuck with Cackles because they had to cheat to get Pedo Biden in. Given that the Demorat bench is not at all deep, it’s a choice between Gruesome and Cackles.
If black women are the only thing propping up Cackles I say fine. Let her run. There aren’t enough black women to drag her over the top.
“black Democrat females would explode”
Can you imagine all the racist blather from these fools. They would be all over Gruesome in their hatred of him.
Either way it’s looking good for Trump.
Trump ’24. MAGA

“But in a recent YouGov poll, Harris, among blacks, had a 70% approval rating, which is undoubtedly even higher among black females.”
This is so depressing. What would it take for at least a significant percentage of blacks to see past skin color? Or is that just a white thing?

Joe Biden is terrible; with him, things in America are bad. Nevertheless, if Kamala Harris replaces in in office of the Presidency, then things in the United States will not go from “Bad to worse,” but altogether skip the word “worse” and go straight to the word “Worst.”
For if Kamala Harris becomes the next President of the United States, the result of that total catastrophic for America.
The damage and harm that she would do to the United states be so severe that it would most probably be irreversible. As Abraham Lincoln had said, “You can’t unscramble eggs.”
Walter Sieruk says
Considering everything about that horrible Biden/Harris team the only semi-“good” thing about Joe Biden is that he might not be as horrendously dangerous as Kamala Harris.
The justified fear is that is this goes even further and Kamala Harris , in time, takes the place of Joe Biden in the Office of the United States President, things in America would not go from “Bad to worse” but entirely skip the word “worse” because things the US would then go from bad to the very worst possible. With Kamala Harris, sitting in the Office of the Presidency it would be a complete and total catastrophe for America.
To explain this in another way, as to compare Joe Biden with and to Vladimir Lenin and then compare Kamala Harris with and to Joseph Stalin.
Of course, Lenin was much more intelligent than Biden .Nevertheless it’s not as terrible to have the feeble-minded socialist, Lenin type character, Biden sitting in the powerful Office of Presidency in Washington DC than have that rude, obnoxious abrasive callous Communist, Stalin type character, Kamala Harris sitting in the powerful Office of the Presidency in Washington DC.
The damage that Kamala Harris would do to America to be so complete that the harm that she would inflict on the United States would be irreversible.
.
Still, it’s wise to remember that “The lesser of two evils is still evil.”
Walter Sieruk says
If Kamala Harris, by any means, “by hook or by crook,” actually does become the next US President then I’m glad that I’m no longer a young man and I’m also very sorry for the children of this country.
Walter Sieruk says
Kamala Harris is a blatant liar. For, she said, “American has a very strong leader in Joe Biden.”
That’s outright balderdash. For Biden is the epitome of weakness. As observed in his caving in to the Communist President of Red China, Xi Jinping, always giving his everything he wants.
Another example of the weakness of Biden is his policy of appeasement to that America hating and hostile tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran. That keeps on declaring “death to America “ and calling her the “great Satan.” For Biden giving to that Islamic tyranny’s President ,Rasis letting everything he demands.
America doesn’t need another chronic liar in the Office of the United States Presidency , meaning Kamala Harris ,to replace that pathological liar, Joe Biden ,who is , at this current time masquerading as a real, genuine, US President.
Walter Sieruk says
All those different pictures of Kamala Harris laughing is a reminder of a sticker that had the words printed on it. “Smile, Smile, Smile, all the world loves an idiot.”
Walter Sieruk says
That VP Kamala Harris is so very anti-Jewish and so spitefully against the Jewish State of Israel that she is in totally in essences un-American as the late US President ,William Howard Taft , ,wisely, declared in a speech that “Anti-Semitism is a noxious weed that should be cut out it has no place in America”
Related this is grand statement in a speech former President Theodore Roosevelt, rightly, declared, “There can be no fifty-fifty Americanism in this country. There is room here for only one hundred percent Americanism, only for those who are Americans and nothing else.”
John Blackman says

Harris makes Gardiner look intelligent.
It appears you cannot go wrong by underestimating the intelligence of the average Democrat voter. Lord save us all!
Justin Swingle says
kamala harris is going no place soon!
Samuel The Lamanaite says
Democrats have a mob mentality. They will unanimously vote for what ever evil, sick, democrat is in office because keeping the office is the only thing that matters. The same people who could not stomach cackling Kamala will happily vote for her to keep democrats in control.
Andrew Blackadder says
Kackling Kamala is a loose cannon that has no good reason to be in the position she is currently in and she only got her previous gigs in the once Golden State because she does a good job…. On her knees… Just ask Willie Brown.
The Cocaine they recently found in the White House probably belonged to Kackling Kamala as I have known people that snorted Coke with her as well as with Willie and Gavin Nuisance when he was Mayor of the once great City of San Francisco.
