(100,133 posts)We are very much split the two men we have sent to be POTUS were Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan.
Both Newsom and Whitmer are state governors, and their skillset is good.
Ive got to tell you though, this country has viciously rejected two incredibly qualified women in the last decade, in favor of an orange rapist and felon. It wasnt baggage that finished off Hillary, and it wasnt racism that killed off Kamalas candidacy (Obama is much darker) it was misogyny.
As a Dem I will vote for any Dem. As much as it disgusts me to say so as a woman, I will suck it up and say that given the evil misogyny of this country I will counsel that we give up on women as candidates for POTUS for the foreseeable future. I would much rather Dems won the election than once again make a futile point.
