Columnists Mark Z. Barabak and Anita Chabria debate whether California's governor is serious about pursuing the nation's highest office.
Along with Trump-fueled lies and misinformation, election officials are facing ‘paper terrorism,’ a deliberate attempt to gum up their works.: Well I, for one, am not ready to outfit Newsom with that white-knight armor. I think there will be plenty of competition for the savior-of-our-nation/save-American-democracy mantle.Fair. Not hard to see someone like Pete Buttigieg, Gretchen Whitmer or Elizabeth Warren making the same Champion of the Republic play when the time is right.
Here’s why: If he challenged Harris and she won the Democratic nomination but lost the White House, many would blame Newsom. Bye-bye future presidential hopes. If, somehow, Newsom won the nomination, he’d go into the general election leading a deeply divided Democratic Party. Rightly or not, many would say it was unfair, racist and misogynistic of him to stand in Harris’ way. I bet a good number of those folks would stay home come November, or vote third party. Bye-bye White House.
So people who believe in our system of government, regardless of party or distaste for a candidate, need the Democratic nominee to win by an indisputable amount — making this more about the primary than the November election. I think that Dr. Pimple Popper could be the Democratic option and those of us fond of democracy would be lining up to vote for her.One other thought regarding a Newsom candidacy. All the ego-stroking will-he-or-won’t-he media coverage ends the instant he enters the race.
