    He’s been busy running for president the last 4 years
    He has his own podcast show and he likes to travel to China and Europe
    He owns a vineyard and is super rich like Pelosi.

    Apparently he can’t read or make a respectable SAT score

    And that's it. He wants to be president. I'd vote for anyone over him

    This article reflects only the personal opinions of the doofus writer and not Bloomberg. Opinions are like….orifices.
    Once again, the question is asked if California is doing so great, why are Californians leaving paradise in droves and why do they call Newscum governor U-Haul?

    You say the same things about him over and over with great confidence. Have you ever met him? Are you just basing an opinion by seeing little edited videos of him via news outlets or social media? Not judging, just asking. As you know, I have met him. I don't love him or hate him. He's just a guy, another politician.

    I don't think he would do grift anywhere near the level we're seeing currently, enriching one's family and friends over the good of hardworking Americans. And I can't see this guy threatening to annihilate a whole civilization or dropping weird f-bombs on Easter. But hey, different strokes!

    when Newsom became Gov 7+ yrs ago, he inherited the 5th largest economy in the world

    Having surpassed Japan, the golden state has become the 4th largest, behind only the US, China and Germany


    according to this Bloomberg article, post-COVID, Calif's GDP has been growing at a faster pace than either US, China or Germany

    Interesting stat, thanks. I didn't know that.

    Yeah, it's funny. I hosted a friend in town here yesterday. She and her young son flew in from the east coast and were worried about all the bad things they've heard. She was blown away by how nice and easy and healthy our city is. We walked around for a couple of hours and it felt a lot more like Mayberry than an "unlivable hellscape"(TM, FoxNews). I can't credit Gavin Newsom for that, of course. He hasn't been in the city for a while now. But people should visit places and judge for themselves. I can create a negative tic-toc video of any place on earth, of course. And sure, SF, like any city, has some negative vibe blocks. But 95% of the city is thriving and all the stats are pretty much on the upswing.

    We like our new mayor -- I think he's better than Gavin was actually. Gavin probably has always had a nose for headlines, or an attraction for headlines. I agree with those who say he shouldn't be the Dem. nominee for POTUS in 2028; lots of negative baggage, whether he's earned it or not. But in any case, he's not "scum" or worse than your average politician, based on my decades of watching politicians and having talked to the guy and watched his career.

    and as for your parroted spin???


    publicizing your willful ignorance again.

    the exodus from Calif started in the late 1970s, 40+ yrs ago, when Calif was the 7th largest economy in the world,
    and Ronald Reagan was the Governor

    after ~2 generations of exodus from Calif, the golden state's economy has risen to become the 4th largest in the world

    before Newsom was elected Gov ~8 yrs ago, in Calif, there were less than 100 firms involved w AI.
    now there are thousands of firms in Calif involved in AI, with SF being the global AI hub


    why are thousands of millennials/Gen Z, from Texas and other states, relocating to Calif, the land of higher taxes?

    Which he would loose.
    Yeah and 47 has truth social and loves to play golf all the time.
    I bet he is just like 47 and most members of the GOP party who have all made a killing with this bogus war.

    Newsom is pro crime
    The prop law allows $700 of theft to be forgiven
    So thugs got a bunch of homeless people to steal nikes and PlayStations and Lululemon
    And paid them in drugs

    I haven't met him nor do I have a desire too. I do know people that have and they have no positive thoughts regarding him. My opinion is based on that and he just seems like a slimey person. I don't know Trump por have personal interaction but they seem one in the same. Egotistical people only out for themselves. Liars and cheats.

    I disagree. I think he's every bit as dangerous as Trump

    I think the problem is deciding who is the lesser of two evils when it comes to a president
