22. There's a lot to like with the very effective trolling Newsom and his team are doing.

He's invigorated and encouraged Dems a lot.

One thing I admired about him is that during Biden's run for re-election before he dropped out is he was a formidable and faithful spokesperson for Biden and his accomplishments. The press kept trying to encourage him to challenge Biden and he never wavered in his enthusiastic support. He was an effective spokesperson then and he clearly is an effective spokesperson now.

I like that in a candidate.

There are a lot of great Dems potentially running in 2028, and I'm encouraged about our bench.
