In the latest political rumble, it seems that Governor Gavin Newsom of California might just have his eye on the golden ticket to replace President Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee. But hold your horses, folks, because a new poll is raining on Newsom’s parade, showing that the Californian would come up short against former President Donald Trump. It looks like the governor might need to pack up his dreams of a White House run and head back to the drawing board.

Gossipy discussions are swirling about Newsom potentially swooping in as a backup plan for Biden, but the numbers don’t lie. According to the latest projections by Stack Data Strategy, Trump is leading the charge against the California governor. Not only that, but the former Republican president also has the upper hand against Vice President Kamala Harris. So Newsom might want to stick to tending to the Golden State for now.
Biden, on the other hand, has been dealing with a laundry list of woes as he gears up for the presidential primaries and caucuses. With a drop in his poll numbers and growing concerns about his age and effectiveness, the president’s reelection efforts are as shaky as a house of cards in a windstorm. As if that’s not enough, Trump is looming like a storm cloud on the horizon, with the survey even showing him leading in the Electoral College, reclaiming key swing states like Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
But wait, there’s more! The survey from the research and strategy firm, Stack Data Strategy, also shines a spotlight on the potential face-offs between Biden and other political heavyweights. In a hypothetical matchup, Biden would still outshine Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida in the Electoral College votes, with DeSantis seeing a significant drop in his presidential campaign support in recent weeks.
So, it seems like Governor Newsom might need to cool his heels and stick to the sunny beaches of California for now, because the numbers aren’t exactly painting a rosy picture for his presidential aspirations. And as for Biden, it looks like he’s got a tough road ahead if he wants to keep the keys to the White House. Only time will tell if these political tides will turn in their favor, but for now, it’s clear that the battleground is heating up with no shortage of drama.
