Newsom and Cuomo were always problematic centrist Democrats. When the Pandemic happened, and they started getting positive notices, the question was
when would these two screwup their unexpected windfall of goodwill, and not if. And now here they both are, "with their teeth and ambition bared".
--Cuomo has ran a kind of political machine in NYS where he basically pits Democrats from his own party and Republicans to create personal power, has many cases of corruption and shifty behavior, refuses to enact his elected mandate until being forced at gunpoint, who in 2020 tried to kneecap the NYWF party.
-- As for Newsom, it's not an accident that he is a former Mr. Kimberly Guilfoyle. He was a centrist Silicon Valley neoliberal Dem who as Mayor of SF oversaw the Bay Area Housing Crisis, and embodied the Californian Democrat party's attitude.

This is the moment where you relate to Joker in THE DARK KNIGHT, breaking a cue stick and forcing two henchmen to fight each other to the death.
