    Would love Pete Buttigieg over Newsom but honestly will take anyone that can beat Trump

    Anyone they pick from now will get name recognition no matter who they are from media presence alone. Changing candidates at this stage will be significant news.

        Hi! Apologies. Other people were naming other potential candidates without further justification so I didn’t think I need to.

        Pete is young, intelligent and very reasonable. Back when he was running in 2020 and when I was doing my own research I found that our political views aligned the most. He is young and white so he has that going for him if looking for general appeal lol

        I currently have Newsom as governor and while he did a great job with the pandemic and healthcare policy in general (I was on calls with his team and many other hospital systems), I hate how he protects corporate donors like PGE. Overall though he signs many good bills into law. I’m just concerned he can be bought and he’s more of a corporate ally than he gives off.

        With the media coverage I didn’t state whether or not it would be successful. I’m not even sure if we should change at this point because there’s a lot that goes into that transition (voters need time to know candidates, campaign ads and efforts likely planned out until November, etc). All I said is they can likely pick anyone and there would be significant media coverage. DNC nominates X! Then many articles around who is X! Again, I’m voting any way to defeat Trump.
