It’s very funny to me that Newsom has been thinking about Oval Office for decades, as it implies he was dreaming of it after very narrowly winning the San Francisco mayoral election over the Green Party candidate. Likely true, to be clear, but very funny.
if nothing else it's cause for hope that the most soullessly ambitious and unprincipled Democrat alive thinks that his best route to the office he's wanted for decades involves daring the president to arrest him and passing an aggressive counter-gerrymander
