Newsom isn't the worst option but that's not saying much. He's basically a neocon in mildly progressive clothing when it's convenient for him. But Republicans have spent years vilifying him and disparaging California as some kind of socialist haven (I wish)... meaning he pretty much doesn't stand a chance. But I'm certain he will run.
