Gavin Newsom has basically been Biden’s media presence for much of the presidency. White male not very left I’d expect him as a contender for Harris’ running mate as the DNC continues chasing the theoretical moderate.
I’m in California and like Newsom as a governor overall.
Ask me about how he’s handled a few things and I’ll tell you he’s likely not fit for a post-primary introduction to the national stage. He needs vetted.
Former Senator and A.G. from California with current Governor from California to get Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin voters? I dunno.
I think they’d both be fine as President/Vice-President and I’d vote for that ticket. I just don’t see the excitement and energy they’d bring… other than being younger than the other side. They will be listed as elites from the right.
The right will call anyone other than themselves as whatever they feel like. Biden is just slightly left of center (for the US) and they call him a leftist. Honestly just being a decade plus younger would be massive imo. Not constantly having potential dementia being talked about would be great. Biden has been decent policywise minus Gaza. Policy is good enough for the avg voter looking at status quo>facism. He’s not left enough for a lot of us (e.g. stacking the court) here on lemmy but if you ask the avg person about Biden’s policies I’d bet they’d approve. The trouble for his campaign is that the good stuff isn’t talked about nearly as much as the his age.

poke, poke… just a quick list to investigate on?
The PG&E dealings don’t look great. And even if he’s clean, he’s apt to look goofy.
French Laundry during COVID has mostly played out, but I still think it plays to character.
