Over the next few months, California Gov. Gavin Newsom will single-handedly remake the face of the state’s Democratic Party. In his latest episode of The Point, CNN’s Chris Cillizza explains how Newsom came to occupy this position of power and what that means for his own political ambitions.

Come on. Just appoint someone suitable for the job. Their ethnicity or sexual preference is irrelevant.
Easy, pick 2 Democrats. I don’t care who they are. Until the Republican party regains their sanity, don’t trust them with any amount of power. Which is regrettable, but necessary.
@Sun Wukung Sun I know for 100% certain you didn’t read my post. I’m all for lockdowns AND financial aid.
“They’ll argue lockdown vs not lockdown as if the majority of the world isn’t locking down and also paying their citizens.”
-me
Exactly as Germany is doing. I despise Trump. You look so stupid typing all that in vain.
@Huh? not really because if we have learned anything about politicians this year it’s that they don’t care at all about any of us.
@General Sanders Where’s Hunter Biden? 😉
@XYA Rant Maizie Hirono, an Asian American represents the Senate. Democrat from the state of Hawaii.
Katie Porter would kill it.
Like an 8 month old fetus.
@General Sanders You mean, like the one they used to create the drugs that saved Trump from COVID?
Does she live in California
I think is time to use RUMBLE instead of YouTube. https://rumble.com/vbr376-pfizer-vaccine-and-paralysis.html?mref=6tc17&mrefc=2
At a Chinese Buffet yeah.
Even though they are democratic I still say and always will, we need term limits for all public officials.
@aaron turnupseed you’re aware that the left has guns, right? Do you not remember the warlords of CHAZ, or are you so stuck in your Parler safe space that you’re completely unaware of reality?
@aaron turnupseed you do realize that you’re no different from those dirt bags of whom you speak, right? Anyone calling for violence against their own countrymen is a dirt bag, and if it comes down to it, I’ll be on whatever side is promoting peace and stability over violence. If you’re the aggressor, the end of my barrel is the last thing you’ll see.
@aaron turnupseed you’ve literally just advocated killing american citizens. Yes. The end of my barrel.
@aaron turnupseed “guns vs pronouns.”
That’s a call to arms if I’ve ever seen it. Be very careful what you wish for, because not everyone on the right will be in your side. Libertarians will protect the rights of the left, even if we may disagree with their philosophy. They have rights. Don’t try to take them away, because there’s consequences for your actions bud.
@Elda Uribe People wanted Trump re-elected as well,my faith in what people want isn’t that great.
“Newsome has to decide the future of CA”. That thing already has 🤣
“Every answer in California is Jerry Brown.” Ha! True dat.
I am Governor Jerry Brown
My aura smiles and never frowns
Soon I will be president
Carter power will soon go ‘way
I will be Führer one day
I will command all of you
Your kids will meditate in school
Your kids will meditate in school
California Über Alles
California Über Alles
Über Alles California
Über Alles California
Zen fascists will control you
Hundred percent natural
You will jog for the master race
And always wear the happy face
Close your eyes, can’t happen here
Big Bro’ on white horse is near
The hippies won’t come back, you say
Mellow out or you will pay
Mellow out or you will pay
California Über Alles
California Über Alles
Über Alles California
Über Alles California
Now it is nineteen eighty-four
Knock-knock at your front door
It’s the suede denim secret police
They have come for your uncool niece
Come quietly to the camp
You’d look nice as a drawstring lamp
Don’t you worry, it’s only a shower
For your clothes, here’s a pretty flower
Die on organic poison gas
Serpent’s egg’s already hatched
You will croak, you little clown
When you mess with President Brown
When you mess with President Brown
California Über Alles
California Über Alles
Über Alles California
Über Alles California

Mayor of Oakland?
@MEXICAN INVASION agree
@J N-A Yep! getting there.
Katie Porter is amazing, I hope she goes far and stays who she is.
Congresswoman Porter is a Boss. She shows up for work and rips trump’s swam creatures.
Sadly she’s way down the list to be chosen to serve out Harris’ Senate term.
I certainly hope she runs for Feinstein’s seat when Feinstein retires in 2024. She has my vote!
I’d rather have travis porter
I’d like to see her replace Diane Feinstein, who really needs to retire. Feinstein is in her 80s and has slowed down noticeably in the last few years.
Chris I already had a crush on you and then you went and sung a lyric from Taylor Swift. The crush lives on and it stronger than before.
He has beautiful breasts.
@General Sanders very manly I must say
SMR you’re gonna get the back of my H A N D in a second alphabet patrol.
Real life feels more like an episode of Veep every day.
No one listens to Newsom in California we do our own thing
Recall Newscum. Just another pawn for the coastal elites.
Corrupt media
Katie Porter has done my district well but Loretta or Linda Sanchez would be good too
I am a latino and by no means I want Padilla. He just plays politcal musical chairs. Porter Kannah or De Leon are better choices.
Hey Newsom, where did that 3 million dollar PPP go to in your businesses? I know your waiters don’t earn 5 or 6 figures a month.
Probably gonna have to make an appointment for Feinstein as well at this point…
To all conservatives and moderates. Get out while you can. To all who voted Democrat. Sit tight. You demanded this, you got this.
Biden > Trump still
If a decent Republican like Baker or Hogan ran then I’d vote Republican.
Katie porter would be great in the Senate.
I always thought they work for us. Since when are they our leaders? They are representatives and they should govern according to what benefits the state, not themselves!
How about this novel idea? Pick the best, most qualified person for the job.
No no no. We have to pick some minorities…just because they’re minorities…even though there are SEVERAL more qualified people.
