Vice President Kamala Harris’ allies are particularly annoyed by the California governor’s move into the spotlight ahead of a possible 2028 Democratic nomination fight.

    I think it’s just that Newsom know he can trounce DeSantis and make a fool of him on national TV, in the republican media backyard of FoxNews. I have no doubt he plans on running president, but I don’t think he’d be dumb enough to do it in 2024. I don’t imagine he’s well liked enough around the rest of the country.

      But thats just not how modern debates work. Each side comes away announcing they’ve won and ‘owned’ the other one. This gets repeated in the respective echo chambers.

      I think D’s should be debating one another right now. We need a national dialogue on where the left and the progressive project of the previous 8 years is going.

      DeSantis just being DeSantis on TV is enough to make a fool out of himself, he really doesn’t need any outside help.
