In case you missed it, my weekend column was on California governor Gavin Newsom, and why it’s a mistake to underestimate him:

With Biden-Harris, conservatives have gotten used to political enemies being scandal-ridden, gaffe-prone, and unable to speak coherently even when on-script. But that is a low threshold that Newsom easily clears. He is a highly presentable, smooth-talking, skilled political operative peddling the same dangerous ideas in a far more effective way.
