Looking ahead to 2028, Democrats are already floating California Governor Gavin Newsom as their potential standard-bearer. But with the MAGA movement stronger than ever under President Trump and his allies, the question becomes whether Newsom has the charisma, policy record, or nationwide appeal to stand up to the America First agenda. Could he realistically take on the MAGA base and win in four years?
Yes
He can.
No
He can’t.
