    This reads like a puff piece on newsom - i wouldn’t be surprised if he paid for it.

    He’s hardly the only one talking about these tests or trump’s obvious senility, which has been widely commented on for years.

      He’s gearing up for a 2028 presidential run (taking it as a given that there’ll even be open elections at that time) and has the backing of the DNC media machine.

      Whether or not it’s explicit quid pro quo puffery, this is DEFINITELY paid for one way or the other. As are most articles about the unbearably slick opportunist Newsom.

        Newsom would absolutely legitimize phony facist elections if he was allowed to be the highest profile loser.

        I can just imagine his concession speach: “I wanna thank all of my base for a good, clean election. The most important thing is we stayed peaceful. I hope yall enjoy el salvador.”
