Republicans take stock of Newsom, a 'Tier 1 Democrat' after Prop 50 [View all]

(Politico) Republicans insist Gov. Gavin Newsom of California isn’t a threat to the Trump presidency. White House allies argue privately that he’s too liberal, too manicured and just too California to win a national election.

And yet: They also acknowledge this week that Newsom looks more politically formidable than at any other point in his career.
