Kamala Harris will tap Gavin Newsom for Cabinet position, says Willie Brown (SF Standard)

Former Mayor Willie Brown made his way to The San Francisco Standard’s office Thursday morning for an interview with senior political editor Annie Gaus and longtime reporter Carla Marinucci, formerly of Politico and the San Francisco Chronicle.

Brown gave his full-throated support to Vice President Kamala Harris at the top of the Democratic ticket, predicting that the former San Francisco district attorney will win the White House in November. Harris “is on the threshold of doing what’s never been done in this country,” Brown said.

The wide-ranging interview covered Harris’ political ascent, her history in San Francisco and California, whether her association with the Golden State will help or hurt her campaign and what a Harris administration might look like.

Asked what Harris’ campaign means for Gov. Gavin Newsom — another San Francisco politician who’s rumored to have presidential aspirations — Brown responded, “I can’t imagine a new President Harris not including Mr. Newsom in some aspect of her administration.”

that the repukes will try to slander the relationship with VP Harris and Brown, which they will push as a "married man" at the time, ignoring that Brown had been separated from his wife for over 10 years before the relationship. There was nothing untoward about it at all.

The repukes are already making false claims about Harris, and there is no doubt it will get worse with social media trash that gets spread.

The last thing the Democratic Party needs to hear is ANYTHING from him. Kamala Harris does NOT need his input on ANYTHING. Besides, Newsom is staying put.
