And the I guess is because I don't know what's going to happen between now and 2028 when so much happens in just a months time. I like Newsom and hope he runs. You have to realize that trump is going to eliminate our choices. 2028 is a long way away and for that matter 2026 is going to be a real challenge to even get to vote .
