"On Newsom, Smith said he looked presidential and had a good heart, but the economic struggles of California would likely derail his candidacy on a national level. 'They're gonna point to a lot different things that have ravaged that state and then look at businesses that fled the state to go elsewhere because of the cost of living there,' Smith said. 'And I think ultimately that's going to hurt him in a general election.'"
"I love Governor Josh Shapiro for Pennsylvania and Governor Wes Moore from Maryland those are my two and not necessarily in that order, he said, going on to call Moore the real deal. Moore, Smith argued, can communicate across the aisle and should not be ignored by Democrats as a candidate with general appeal."
Josh Shapiro and Wes Moore are identified as favored potential Democratic candidates for the 2028 presidential election. Wes Moore is characterized as able to communicate across the aisle and as having broad, general appeal. Josh Shapiro is favored for his leadership in Pennsylvania. Gavin Newsom is described as looking presidential and having a good heart but faces significant economic challenges in California, including business departures and high cost of living, which could undermine his viability in a general election. The preferences are framed as personal favorites rather than directives for voting.
