Personally, I dislike Harris because she's "tough on crime" and a former DA. As someone who's supported Sanders in the past, I've got no problem with direct politicians that don't small talk well.

Edit: forgot he also attended some fancy party while telling people to not attend large gatherings. The definition of what I just stated. I wrote him off a while ago.
Newsom hasn't done himself any favors lately with the bills he's been vetoing
He's been endearing himself to party leadership with those vetoes.
And it's not like voters are ever gonna matter again in Democratic primaries.
I'm well aware why he's doing it. We're talking about polling numbers among voters, not party leadership.
If we learned anything from 2020, it was that voters choose whomever the media says is the "safe" candidate, and the media picks whomever the establishment tells them.
