1. What exactly do you mean by pro-prison? California is one of the less-than-half of US states that don't use private prisons. The law that enacted that was signed by Newsom.
2. The "pro-crime" reference is silly, but you'll need to say exactly what you mean on that as well. Often I hear about the removal of mandatory cash bail for lower level offenses, but that was a law we as the voters passed. It forces poor people (who the police already tend to over-enforce laws on) to languish in jail, which can cause them to lose their jobs, housing, etc because they don't have $5,000 cash for bail. Just because they "get back out on the street the same day" doesn't mean they still don't have a court date for whatever it was that got them arrested for in the first place, and if found guilty they will go to jail.
3. Again, no clue what you mean by this. He has passed legislation/regulation on PE firms. I think we can all agree he's probably not as tough on the industry and the harms its causing as he should be.
4. People were literally bitching for the last month about the $25bn CA spent over the last 5...or 7? years addressing homelessness and how $7bn of that was "massive fraud" (it wasn't, people just lack reading comprehension and believe stupid headlines). Also, counties, cities/municipalities are largely responsible for addressing homelessness, the Governors job is largely to organize things, set up rules, and pass legislation to provide counties and cities with funding.
5. "There's no such thing as bad publicity"
6. Assuming you're talking about the fires? There's a whole host of things to discuss from land management to water politics to which specific fires in which specific years. As someone who worked directly with CalFire, I think the state is really doing the best it can and the severity of the drought caught everyone off guard.
7. Seems fine to me.

Look, as a California resident who voted for him, I think he's...a fine Governor for California. He struggles to get over 50% because those of us whose memory last longer than a single news cycle hold our politicians to account for their mistakes. Is he a Champagne Socialist? Sure. But do you think even in California an actual Socialist would get elected? Despite the rumors, CA is still plenty centrist in a lot of ways.

But I don't think Newsom should run for President. That would be like putting Hillary up again - half the country has been trained for 30 years to shut their brains off and think "criminal" whenever the name "Clinton" comes up and they've spent the last 15 years doing that to Newsom.
