One could argue, as the LA Times does, that governing the politically, socially and ethnically diverse metropolis that is Los Angeles, better qualifies Antonio to be Governor. Further, Newsom's self proclaimed acts of political courage, were merely feeding blue quinoa to his base.
But my rationale is quite different. The 2018 midterms are the most consequential in my lifetime, and I am not young. The administration is a chaotic cesspool of corruption without a hint of competence. A Democratic House will exercise oversight with the power of the purse and of the subpoena.
In California the top two, do the due in November. Deservedly, Gavin Newsom is a lock. The battle for number two is between fellow Democrat Villaraigosa and Republican Cox. A Democratic intra party contest will be of little interest to Republicans. Any drop in GOP turnout increases the Democratic chances of flipping 5 to 7 competitive California seats, and retaking the House.
