This is definitely worth the time because we get a fuller look at Newsom as the man, not simply the politician. A lot of info revealed on the man's background (he was not raised with a silver spoon in his mouth), his life could have gone in a quite different direction, he credits his mother, his love of sports and Willie Brown for his opportunities and he's determined to fight Trump in any way necessary.

I know a lot of people take swipes at Newsom but here he's a natural, fully human, articulate, passionate even in a relaxed setting and calling on the country to rise, to fight, to stay committed. I came away with a whole different perspective on the man.

He is a contender! In a very good way.
