Exactly, but it won't work

California Here We Come

If Joe Biden wins the presidency, it is likely that two of the three faces Americans see during State of the Union speeches will be San Francisco Democrats. The first, the familiar Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the House. The second, Vice President — and heir apparent — Kamala Harris.

In an almost hidden way, the American nation’s polarization in the Trump era is a story about California. The California of the 1960s and early 1970s was a middle-class paradise of low-cost bungalows with great weather and fantastic public services. That California, the state that other states wished they could be, produced Ronald Reagan.

Then came the public unions and California is no longer the ideal the flyover states want.  She will likely cost Texas and Florida, and Biden likely doesn;t want to be president anyway.   Biden got caught in a trap he is not happy about.
