Biden's finance team is entirely from Warren's team. She will destroy GN for vetoing the wealth tax since she wants a federal version If Trump wins, Newsom won't have the White House hounding him if he vetos, plus CA all political attention will be on "4 more years"

if Trump wins, we're last in line for vaccine distribution and our economy gets nuked anyway. And also no immigrants, so no immigrant founders.
