Nationalizing politics benefits Gavin Newsom but hurts Senate Democrats

California Governor Gavin Newsom’s goal in life, besides looking like Gordon Gekko in “Wall Street,” is to become President Donald Trump’s foil in every way. If Trump is Superman, Newsom is Lex Luthor; if Trump is Hulk Hogan, Newsom is Andre the Giant; and if Trump is American Airlines, consider Newsom to be punctuality.

Why does Newsom want to frame himself as the anti-Trump?  Because it’s been beneficial to his political survival, that’s why.  He’s like a cruise ship magician, with one really good trick.
