Gavin Newsom and suggests that if President Trump wades into it, the media will overreact. It claims Trump jokingly announced that Newsom\u2014who isn\u2019t officially running in 2028\u2014had dropped out after Newsom made a notable remark the previous Sunday. The article notes Newsom\u2019s book tour for \u201cYoung Man in a Hurry,\u201d implying he didn\u2019t actually write it and perhaps hasn\u2019t even read it, since Newsom allegedly told an Atlanta audience that he can\u2019t read. It includes a description of a page-loading script used to embed an Anyclip video widget and recounts Newsom\u2019s remarks to a Black crowd in Atlanta where he supposedly said, \u201cI\u2019m like you, I can\u2019t read,\u201d linking it to his claimed dyslexia. The clip circulated on social media, drawing attention from Republicans and Trump, who posted jokes about Newsom dropping out. Liberal media purportedly treated Trump\u2019s post seriously. Newsweek is cited as saying the post signals an effort to undermine Newsom\u2019s political ambitions, while polls are cited showing Newsom leading other potential 2028 Democrats in general support, with a close direct comparison against Kamala Harris. The piece also notes that Newsom has trolled Trump in other posts\u2014some commenting on his perceived dementia\u2014portraying Newsom as a leading Democratic voice in opposition to Trump.
