That's all well and good, but we're talking about someone seemingly positioning themselves for an election that won't happen for three years, and we have no idea who the candidates will be.
I'm well aware of Newsom's Kirk appearance, but it doesn't seem central to this piece. You want an LGBTQ+-advocate presidential candidate who can win red states that have disproportionate electoral votes? Not going to happen.
This is just how politics work, and that's not changing ahead of 2028. If you want to vote for the fascist instead because Newsom isn't liberal enough to win a national election, that is of course your choice.
