Anybody but the traiterous incumbant Gavin Newsom,
He's term-limited. He won't be the next governor of California.
Californians will vote for a new governor in 2026. That person will replace Gov. Gavin Newsom, who cannot run for another term for this office. Newsom’s current term will end early January 2027, according to Ballotpedia.
I read an article earlier suggesting that Newsom's potentially trying to position himself for a Presidential run, which might explain the trans thing.
if he runs for President in 2028 I'm not voting for him. I've been an obedient progressive and held my nose voting for Clinton, Biden and Harris, but as a trans woman there's no way in hell I'm putting up with his shit, after the hate he's spewed. I'm just done.
Yeah, I don't know. If the DNC/base collectively choose another centrist corporate republic-lite for the candidate, I'm going to fucking lose it. Can't wait to see the voter blaming in 2029.
What hate did he spew?
Don't forget when he helped clear homeless camps with the cops.Been garbage since he was mayor of SanFran with an equally garbage DA. Remember those days? I do. Three Strikes disproportionately harmed people of color and sex workers, especially the trans ones, by design.

She is legit.
I'll vote for her over Harris any day.
Wasn't she the single mother raging against people deciding on single mother issues without even having a shred of knowledge on it? That was great.
Katie Porter is one of the very few good guys. She'd be a terrific governor for California, so I expect the Democratic Party will do all they can to oppose her.
If she isn't the Dem nominee she should still run. I think we could put a progressive in here in CA.
California has jungle primaries where the top two (usually both Democrats) go on to contest the general election iirc..
I hate the top-two jungle primary. Damnit, if I want to vote for the person with no chance at winning, I shouldn't have to write them in! I'd honestly much prefer to see some flavor of ranked choice vote implemented (not trying to kick off an argument about RCV flavors, just using it as a blanket term).
It allows me to remain registered as a Republican but vote liberal every election. I just don’t know how you change affiliation at this point. And I don’t care after so long.
It allows me to register as independent so I don’t get constantly and endlessly harassed with spam from the DNC.
I just don’t know how you change affiliation at this point.
In California? You can do it online.

How do I change my political party?
In order to change your political party preference, you must re-register to vote. You can re-register to vote by completing a voter registration application online at RegisterToVote.ca.gov.

Harris is going to run and don't you know this was her promised consolation prize. So sorry progressives, maybe in a 100 years when everyone in line in front of you dies?
Yeah, I remember it being pitched right after the election. Idk, if Kamala actually runs on a progressive platform and doesn't redshift like she did late in the election, I might consider her seriously.
Has she confirmed? I haven’t seen anything yet. Amy did well enough in the senate race. But she won’t beat Kamala if she runs. The power has shifted to NorCal/Bay area politicians to win elections.
She hasn't confirmed yet but that's how the corporate political caste does things. They use the "soft announcement" to start testing messaging and campaign ideas. Then when they publicly decide they're actually running they can denounce anything from before that.
Oh I’m so voting for her again.
Same
I'm on board if she brings a whiteboard and schools people after putting forth actual legislation based on real data. She'll be amazing in any political seat she is elected to.
Why yes, there does seem to be a plastic-democrat that urgently needs replacing. Good on her!
I’m so sick of Democrats ripping off a mask to reveal they’re Republican.
I’d like for once it to be the other way around, or for a Dem to rip it off and reveal they’re even further left.
Newsom has pilfered his corrupt PG&E money so he doesn’t need to be actually helpful to anyone anymore.
alot ofr republicans will switch thier parties to D, because they arnt right wing enough to be voted as one, and then either switch back parties immediately or vote like a DINO republican.

All she has to do is tell me she's not going to fuck over consumers with regards to solar to protect regionally monopolistic power conglomerates who are literally killing people due to old equipment in wild fire corridors. Fuck Gavin Newsome.

Yes please!!
He's got a good chance because she's extremely popular outside of core Democratic hubs. Ita going to be a question of if she is willing to buck the system. Frankly, after the ratfucking of 2024, I think she could make real waves running as an independent; as a Democrat she'll be open to the same weaknesses as we saw in the 2024 campaign.:DNC power brokers will quite litterally support fascists in their ability to win elections rather than have their own power challenged.
