"California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) is on a publicity tour for his 2028 presidential hopes. Over the weekend, he showed up in Munich, where European leaders are meeting, to declare that "Donald Trump is temporary." He's been touring South Carolina, an early primary battleground state. He's been profiled in outlets like and The New Yorker that all but declare him the Democrats' best hope. He's even written an autobiography that tries to rough up the edges of his privileged upbringing and smooth out the edges of his past behavior."
"To give Newsom credit, he has willingly battled Trump much more aggressively than most other Democrats. While other Democrats provide mealy-mouthed responses to Trump's outrages, Newsom has been calling Trump out for being "weak," "un-American," and "a wholly-owned subsidiary of big oil, gas, and coal." And that was just this past weekend."
"Newsom is especially good at trolling the president, besting Trump at his own game on social media. When the White House declared Trump to be in perfect health (with minimal details to back up the claim), Newsom mocked Trump by posting a fake letter from a "Dr. Dolittle" to declare that the governor is "the healthiest human currently alive or recorded in medical history." Such antics are welcomed by Democrats who want someone to stand up to"
Gavin Newsom is conducting an early, visible campaign for the 2028 presidential nomination, appearing in Munich and touring South Carolina. He framed Donald Trump as "temporary" and has sought prominent media profiles while publishing an autobiography that reworks his privileged background and past conduct. Newsom has confronted Trump more forcefully than many Democrats, using sharp labels such as weak, un-American, and tied to fossil-fuel interests. He leverages social media trolling, including a satirical "Dr. Dolittle" letter mocking Trump's health claim. His combative style appeals to Democrats who want a bold, outspoken opponent to Trump.
