The dude was recalled.

I guess that's not like getting impeached where just going through the process means you were impeached, pedantically?

Newsom is a politician. Newsom is making a politically savvy decision to work himself into the news cycle, (like almost no other democrat currently who isn't the VP or Biden), in a way that isn't interpreted as a challenge to Biden.

It also gives him the opportunity to draw a stark contrast between himself and potential future political opponents, who are busy banning books, objectifying some of the most vulnerable people in America, (gay and trans Americans), for political gain, attacking the co. that ranked #5 in Fortune's 2022 "World's Most Admired Companies", and for the 19th year in a row ranked #1 as the "Top-ranked media and entertainment co., patronizing women by inserting themselves between women and their physicians and causing all sorts of volatility and uncertainty into the pharmaceutical industry, telling Black representatives in Tenn., in front of the entire world, not to get too uppity, and doing everything they can to arm the next mass murderer.

And, while that is kind of impressive, interpreting that as me seeing Newsom as a "shining star", is a reach.

I don’t think he’s presidential material, in spite of what he thinks- and I voted for him three times for governor. I think he’s looking for a cabinet post that he can then leverage for something else, maybe Senate
