The attacks on Biden from the Democrat Establishment coincide with the ascent of Gavin Newsom.
How could the DNC avoid a messy primary and nominate their preferred candidate (Newsom)?
It’s in the fine print.
Biden is increasingly frail and confused, his dementia is worsening and his economic plan is faltering.
His popularity continues to crumble even among Democrats.
Consider the possibility that he resigns after receiving the Presidential nomination at the DNC 2024 convention.
Why that specific timing?
Because –
Rules adopted by the Democratic National Committee in 2022 leave the DNC as the sole authority to appoint a Presidential nominee where that nominee resigns after the August 2024 convention.
No vote or primary needed.
Newsom is already running a presidential campaign – his tour of China, Xi’s visit to SF (why not DC??), his civil rights stops in the US.
The question is whether he is targeting 2024 or 2028.
Maybe it’s both.
This is Newsom’s final term as governor; he’s barred from running in 2026.
Strategically, it is better for him to run now rather than wait until 2028. Think momentum.
What does Newsom have to say about a presidential run? Curious non-denials.
Something to think about.🤷♂️

A federal judge has ordered the unsealing of 167 Jeffrey Epstein “John Does” (from Ghislaine Maxwell’s civil case).
There’s a lot of confusion (and bad info from the media) surrounding this issue – here is some necessary context on the John Does.
Thread.
We previously charted and categorized each John Doe, and previously summarized this material back in Feb. 2023.
The majority (around 100 of 167) have been identified.
Approximately 11 of the unidentified John Does are victims.
Here are examples:
Furthermore -
Lawyers for Maxwell and Giuffre (the victim) informed the Court that quite a few of the John Does were only mentioned in passing or in a benign context.
Or that “the sealed material as to this individual is not salacious.”
