I think Newsom would make a good President. He would fight relentlessly to get things done. Things that benefit people and not just rich dudes. I look forward to seeing more of him in the political spotlight.
It is impossible to have policies that benefit the people that do not also benefit rich dudes, FTR.
Leftists have no objection to policy that helps everybody but ALSO helps rich people. That's perfectly fine. Most leftists don't want to actively disadvantage rich people just for the sake of doing so.
