I don't think he would perform that well. He has decent support in California running against Republicans, but those who are against him are REALLY REALLY against him because of his general heavy-handedness, and he doesn't win too much love from the real left either.

That said, he had handled a lot of things (especially covid) swiftly and decisively enough that support could be drummed up without that much effort. It wouldn't be a sweeping blow out, but it would be possible.

tl;dr for people not in california. hes a heavy system democrat, so progressives dont really like him, but he runs on charisma which is something important for elections.

Yeah those were the words I was looking for honestly. He is a good "stop the bleeding" kinda candidate but you ain't gonna get any Bernie Energy out of him.
