Kamala understandable, why Newsom, does he not have the reputation of bringing CA down?!
Both of them will be weaker than Biden against Trump. There would be chaos when Biden drops out since every TDH in disloyal (to the party) democrats other than possibly Menendez would think they are better candidates and wash their dirty linen in public!
If and when Kamala gets anointed, she would be hounded by Republicans for all her past word salads, migrant crisis, being dishonest with Americans for the last 4 years about Biden's 'dementia", questioning her citizenship, putting intense pressure on her to use 25th amendment to remove Biden now - maybe that's the only way she becomes the POTUS for a few months! America did not vote for the most qualified candidate in 2016 mostly because of being a woman and I doubt if they will go for Indo-African-American woman this time.

Life comes to full circle: When Biden ran for US senate in 1972, he was too young (<30) to be a senator and now he's too old to run!

It's almost certain that Kamala would be the first female POTUS - one way or another, either in the next few weeks or in Jan 2025!

I wouldn't count the chickens yet.. She remains a much awkward campaigner. Mind you, she didn't even past the first round in the Dem primaries in 2020.
