My cynicism and long term thinking says Kamala is a throwaway candidate to make 2028 easy for someone like Newsome. They aren't worried about Trump, we already saw in his first term how Congress and executive agencies can undermine and stonewall a president. They plan to do it again until he hits the term limit, while all the normies on the right go back to sleep, then repeal his executive orders, again, as soon as they get their guy in the Oval Office.
