"SNIP.......

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) is “undeniably, unequivocally” planning to run for president in 2024 if President Biden chooses not to seek a second term, The Wrap reports.

Said one Democratic fundraiser: “After this midterm election is over, he absolutely is going to announce that he is running for the presidency once Biden announces that he is not running. No ifs, ands or buts. He will run if Biden does not.”

1. I'm okay with that n/t

[MontanaMama]

2. I heard Governor Newsom say on Preet Bharara's podcast

just last week say he had no intention or interest in running for president.

3. Both are SuperHeroes to me.

It seems like a Win-Win whichever one wins.

[irisblue]

4. So will VP Harris

[hedda_foil]

5. Of course he is. His recent call-outs of DeSatan made it totally obvious.

[librechik]

6. My fantasy: Newsom to Vice, Harris to Attorney General.

When Biden runs.

[EndlessWire]

7. I prefer Kamala. n/t

[nattyice]

14. I prefer the one more likely to pull off a win.

[Lancero]

17. So, Kamala Harris, our current VP?

[roamer65]

8. Eventually there will be more power in being governor of California.

I’m all in for him if he runs, but I think the days of this republic are numbered.

9. Nothing personal, but he has a Guilfoyle problem.

[Celerity]

10. Not really, they got married in December 2001, filed for divorce 3 years later in January 2005, and

she only became a hardcore RWNJ years later.

I highly doubt a 3 year marriage (technically 4 if you count the year before the divorce became final, but they were completely legally separated by then) basically 20-23 years before before 2024 (or 24 to 27 years before 2028) will have more than a tiny ripple of impact, especially as she was not a RW nutter when she was married to him.

11. Still...

Guilfoyle will be front and center in any smears launched against him. She has zero scruples.

[Celerity]

12. I am sure Gavin has more than a little ammunition on her if she wants to go the 'smear my ex' route

Being attacked by a Trump (via her marrying into that poisonous vermin clan) is hardly going to put off Dem primary voters.

[SharonClark]

13. So when did she become a RW nutter

and what triggered the change in her politics?

She’s so gawd awful and abrasive that it’s hard to believe she was ever a “liberal”.

[Celerity]

16. Kimberly Guilfoyle was once half of a liberal power couple. Now she's basically a Trump.

In the summer of 2004, the new mayor and first lady of San Francisco were photographed for an eight-page spread in Harper’s Bazaar. Gavin Newsom wore a thousand-dollar tuxedo, and Kimberly Guilfoyle Newsom had on a black dress that was twice the price. The magazine thought their young marriage would be “one of the most glamorous political unions since Jack and Jackie.”

Earlier that year, just five weeks into his tenure, the charismatic mayor had flouted California law by instructing San Francisco to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, drawing condemnation from President George W. Bush and adoration from progressives nationwide. The first lady, a prosecutor by trade, had left the San Francisco district attorney’s office to campaign for her husband and was now introducing herself to the rest of America on television, as a legal analyst for CNN and ABC News.

“The New Kennedys” was the headline across the Harper’s Bazaar spread. “Do I think he could be president of the United States?” Guilfoyle Newsom said then of her husband. “Absolutely. I’d gladly vote for him.”

Fourteen years later, after an amicable divorce from Gavin Newsom and long run at Fox News, Guilfoyle has made it to the doorstep of the White House — as a conservative cheerleader for President Trump, the new romantic interest of his eldest son, and an opening act for Vice President Pence on a promotional “Make America Great Again” tour that ends, at every stop, with a prayer.

18. As I suspected, she was always a conservative who

hid her beliefs to future her political future.

Just because the press calls someone “a liberal darling” doesn’t make it true.

Thanks for sharing the article.

15. Either one is great with me, if DeSatan wins legitimately, har har, we deserve our fate!

He might not even win his re-election in FL, how about that?
