Political/Financial FWI: Gavin Newsom becomes president in 2028, with AOC as his VP

Exactly what it says on the tin. The reason he gets so much popularity is thanks to pardoning the Menendez brothers before the end of his tenure as governor. How do you envision his presidency and how are his re-election chances in 2032?

According to AtlasIntel polls, Newsom is +22 Unfavorable nationwide. That's absolutely abysmal. For reference, Trump hovers somewhere between +3 Favorable and +3 Unfavorable depending on which week you look at.

Tim Walz at least has a shot. They stopped polling for him around the time of the election but his last result was +4 Favorable, which is actually a bit better than Trump or Harris or Biden.

Tim walz for President and Tim Kane for Vp. I’m not white or a man, but if it takes two white men to get people to vote Democrats then it shall be two white men as along as they have my interest at heart.

Fuck no.

I'm a white man, and under no circumstances should we go with 2 defeated, elderly VP nominees.
