It’s about time we have a strong, vocal leader like Newsom who’s willing to take on Trump’s dangerous agenda head-on. If Biden and Harris aren't stepping up, I'm glad someone like Newsom is ready to defend progressive values and push back.
Great, just what we need—another politician trying to make government even bigger and more controlling.
