Why on Earth would anyone with a blue avatar find Newsom appealing?
Possibly one issue is that he implemented such strict Covid regulations and kept them much later than almost all other governors did. Now it's possible voters as a whole wouldn't care much at this point, they clearly did in 2021 but didn't seem to anymore in 2022...but it's bizarre that Republicans wouldn't considering how they were still raving about long gone Covid restrictions in 2022, especially Atlas blue avatars. And in Newsom's case they weren't even "long" gone.
They always liked him but they don't contemplate voting for Newsom in a Post Voting Rights eea
