Newsom is clearly the favorite.
Posters say Newsom will be hurt in a general election due to his advocacy for unpopular issues like transgenderism.
I know millions of Dems, and now former Dems, who won't vote for any candidate who's done so much to push gender ideology. Good luck with that @TheDemocrats.

It's Newsom.

He'll flip flop (as usual) and most people have TikTok brain rot with a memory of less than 15 minutes.
What's really going to be an uphill battle for him is his 1980's sleazy used car salesman personality. pic.twitter.com/KlBBYMDO4W
He's already been trying to sound more "moderate", talking about the women's sports issue. No one is fooled by it.

Gavin would turn America into a communist sh*thole like California.

There’s no doubt about that.
Commenters say if Newsom gets the nod, he’ll likely run against current Vice President JD Vance from the Republican side.
🚨 JD VANCE will be 48.

He must wipe the floor with slithering Gavin Newsom.
Gavin will destroy this nation if given the chance. It would be the Biden administration on steroids.
We can’t allow it to happen, ever. https://t.co/PYggyrnqKN pic.twitter.com/Mpe9HWv3ju
Could you imagine him debating Gavin Newsom? pic.twitter.com/m6DlollwmF

Gavin would try to smooth talk out of the abomination that is LA and California's destructive policies.
— Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) December 11, 2025
JD would stop him in his tracks.
I'm looking forward to it, honestly. If Gavin is the best candidate the Democrats can produce, they are COOKED.

Newsom’s slimy persona and his bizarre hand movements, and swaying make him an odd choice.
Some posters say Democrats will return for seconds at the word salad bar. Newsom will have to wait.
They are not gonna chose him over Kamala

He’s got a better chance than Kamala or anyone else in the DNC, but it highlights how far the democrats have fallen if this tool is the best they can find.
— Inquiring Minds (@TiffaniMarie483) December 11, 2025
What's sad is that Kamala probably would be a better choice for their nominee. She's still horrible, but Newsom's record is indefensible.

If Harris gets the votes, it will be the first presidential primary she has ever won. You’ll recall she was selected, not elected, to be the Democrats’ presidential candidate in 2024. The bench for the Democrats is extremely weak if Newsom’s on top.
