Why is Newsom afraid to announce he is running for president?

The Dems are very good about a pecking order. He can't announce until Biden drops out. Look how they treated RFK Jr when he tried to run D.

DeSantis better win this soundly or he will be responsible for President Newsom.

Both having something to gain.

Newsom gets to attack a Republican who is deeply hated by his base

DeSantis gets brownie points for shitting on a commie Governor who is the Biden backup plan.

The only people who can’t see a benefit for DeSantis are the ones who see Trump as inevitable and DeSantis as a traitor.

If this debate happened last year there would be insane hype for it from all of you in this thread ready to cheer Ron on.

So far Ron has not shown he is strong in a multi person debate. Maybe a one-on-one will be different and he can slam Newsom on CA failures and its socialist agenda.

Also feels like Fox News is helping position Gavin to take over for Biden while throwing Ron under the bus.



Which would be a weird play by Fox IMO but nothing surprises me.

Yeah I mean, MANY people don’t see Biden running again. This is Newsom’s shot to show how he can “beat” the Republicans. The Dems clearly don’t want Biden to run again, so Dem voters will tune into this and eat up Newsom like college marxists eat up pro-Palestine shite. You could broadcast the debate in Swahili or some obscure language Dems don’t understand, and as long as Dems see a clean cut guy who they think is empathetic, he will become their guy. Sounds like an exaggeration, it’s completely true in the majority of cases. The amount of people I know who voted for Biden because they thought he was “empathetic” and that Trump was a racist criminal is staggering.

So Ron could give the greatest points ever, tout the biggest accomplishments ever, all Newsom has to do is a few character assassinations and regular use of “racism” “insurrection” and “white supremacy” and he wins this going away.

I hope Ron wins but I disagree that he has much to gain from this. This will not move the needle at all in favor of Ron. Those who like him and/or Hate Trump know they will support him in the primary.

It stands to move the needle for undecided Fox viewers who hate Trump to back Newsom if those two end up in the general. We need those undecided to vote for RFK instead of the D nominee.

New Fox News is not the Fox News of old. They are as pro-establishment as ever and all in on whatever it takes to get rid of Trump even if that means supporting Newsom while trying to appear as if they aren't

Very true. Gavin is the winner here no matter what happens.

Gavin will likely try to paint DeSantis as Trump 2.0 to scare any independents away from supporting DeSantis.

Ron will be defending MAGA/America First ideas and likely Trump himself.

Ron is going to remind the audience why everyone liked him in the first place: he’s elite at destroying the left

Trump is a businessman first and looks at things from a risk/reward perspective. There is no reward for him right now for debating anyone much less Gavin. He literally gains nothing from any debate until the general.

This will not move the needle at all for Ron. Even if it does, it will not make up the more than 40-point and growing deficit he faces. The R primary is over.

Meanwhile, Gavin is working to position himself for when Biden announces he isn't running and this will introduce him to a new set of eyeballs that probably aren't regularly exposed to him.
