It doesn't matter who you or I will vote for. People that understand the danger of Trump would vote for a ham sandwich. What matters is who swing voters and never-Trumpers will vote for.
Most of them would never vote for anyone from California because that state is synonymous with the worst problems of the left. They would also never vote for Whitmer because she is a self described progressive (and let's be honest, being a woman doesn't help with more traditionally minded centrists).
Jared Polis would be ideal, although I would bet unfortunately being gay and Jewish would hamper him. His type of politics is exactly what we need to appeal to those toying with the idea of Trump.
I dont think anybody actually likes Newsom, hes a rich bastard who basically everyone dislikes. He aint got the respect Brown has due to just being a decent bureaucrat he doesnt have the goodwill of Schwarzenegger due to atleast trying his best. Hes just a dime a dozen slimeball politician nobody actively likes.
Exactly, anything will be better than trump/gop
Chase Oliver for President 2024!
A guy who has never held office anywhere, isn't a Democrat, and believes the free market will fix climate change should be the Dem candidate? He's not a serious option.
I will admit I love his "Ellis Island" style immigration, but that would be immediately disqualifying for exactly the kind of centrist and never-Trumper people we need to win over.
