Suspicious Timing

Posting at Instapundit, Stephen Green links to some interesting speculation at Lawrence Person’s BattleSwarm Blog.

With midterms safely past, news about the classified documents (which was known in advance of the midterms) was allowed to leak out, indicating that whoever arranged Slow Joe’s greased-skid path to the White House has lost confidence in his ability not to screw things up so badly that Democrats get slaughtered in 2024. And this despite the decided unpopularity both of VP Kamala Harris and backup catspaw Pete Buttigieg. My working theory is that the same people who installed Biden will try to install Gavin Newsom in 2024.

Newsom’s agenda, on display in California, is even worse than Biden’s agenda. There is no effective opposition in CA, where state level politics are monopolized by Ds. The resulting woke policies go a long ways toward explaining the outmigration the once-Golden State currently suffers.
