Gavin Newsom of California is running to be president. You can see why he is focusing on his home state while neglecting the rest. Yeah, you guessed it: Florida, along with Florida’s governor, Ron DeSantis. Newsom thinks DeSantis would be the opponent in 2020 and believes his track record as a governor can make him the best candidate for president. DeSantis’ work in his state.
As deluded, so is one.
If you need any more proof that Newsom is deadly serious, look no further than a statewide cable ad buy Newsom just made— in Florida. Newsom is so overly confident that he doesn’t have to campaign for re-election in California that he is looking ahead and pouring his resources into his 2024 campaign.
#FLPolCalifornia Governor Gavin Newsom (D), just completed a state-wide cable purchase in Florida. The first ads will air on July 4.

He told us the story last month. San Francisco Chronicle that he had “subzero interest” in running for president in 2024.
Go. Gavin Newsom said he has “subzero Interest” in running for president in 2024, and highlighted his record on housing and homelessness during an interview with The Chronicle editorial board Thursday.
Newsom runs for re-election in a bid to win a second term. California governor, which would last through 2026. Asked whether he would promise to voters that he wouldn’t run for president before the end of that term, he said he believes Vice President Kamala Harris should be the next president after Joe Biden.
“Yeah, I mean, I have subzero Interest,” he said. “It’s not even on my radar.”
Newsom made similar claims regarding having no Interest in running for president before, but it hasn’t stopped speculation that he wants to be commander in chief someday. He’s stoked those rumors by positioning himself as a national political figure and publicly sparring with prominent Republicans, including former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
If Newsom did want to run for president, he faces a political challenge in that Harris is Biden’s heir apparent. Harris and Newsom, both of whom rose together through San Francisco’s Democratic Party ranks, share many of their supporters and donors.
Which record does Newsom have on homelessness and housing? Newsom loves to make big, splashy announcements about him doing “something,” and assumes it is just as good as if he actually did accomplish it.
Such. A. Liar.
Newsom has a track record though. His singularly-focused COVID dictatorship and unchecked homelessness are just a few of the reasons he is running. Then there is the state bleeding constituents, many of them moving to… you guessed it: Florida! This has played out on the national stage, and it’s a state of affairs that Newsom can neither gaslight about nor deny.
The harm Newsom caused to California’s kids and society is more apparent every day. The consequences of Newsom’s failed Covid policies by 2024 will be so apparent that Republicans will love him running. Newsom’s ship is sinking. You don’t do what he did and then become President!

But he’s going all in. Somewhere between Memorial Day and Juneteenth, Newsom decided to not only tout his ridiculous record on housing and homelessness, but to ride the wave of Abortion’s savior. Newsom continued his government by fiat, signing an executive order guaranteeing abortion rights, just ahead of the California legislature’s vote on the actual bill creating this amendment for the state constitution.
It couldn’t wait? Evidently not.
For Newsom and his Democrat Supermajority, this is just business as usual. Newsom does not realize this, but it is exactly the same business as before that many Americans reject. Even a reported million voter shift from Democrat to Republican doesn’t seem to phase him, or his party for that matter. Newsom and Democrats believe abortion rights is the key issue in the midterms.
NEW: Extremist republicans in the United States are working to eradicate fundamental American freedoms.
It’s time to win.

In a news conference that mixed sorrow, anger and resolve, Gov. Gavin Newsom, state lawmakers and women’s health advocates on Friday afternoon, June 24, condemned the U.S. Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade while announcing steps to protect abortion rights in California and offer abortions to out-of-state women.
Describing himself as “a little less sorry than pissed,” Newsom signed a bill intended to make California a safe haven for abortion-seeking women in states that have outlawed or will outlaw the procedure in the wake of the high court’s momentous ruling.
The voters rejected Michael Shellenberger as a progressive and credible candidate for the June 7 primary election. Shellenberger challenged Newsom on his homelessness record, and got people’s attention, but not enough of vote to make the Top 2. However, this does not mean that Newsom’s laser focus on abortion and Florida is playing well to his loyal base.

Notice that Cher doesn’t say she won’t vote for him, But for him to even get criticism from his Hollywood base? This speaks volumes about his inability to eat the food he receives.
That includes the White House.
Kevin Kiley, a California Assemblyman and U.S. Congressional Candidates (R-Rockstar), published this newsletter.
Newsom tried for years to turn his wrecking-ball governorship in national fame. It’s been a comedy – and tragedy – of errors. (Keep an eye out the embarrassing Mario Kart animation he made his first year; Please read my chapter about how he tried to use COVID to launch a presidential bid.)
These stunts seem to have become more common and outrageous in recent years. Most of his tweets were partisan attacks against Republicans like Ron DeSantis. Newsom also announced he’d joined Truth Social to “call out Republican lies.”
Even, he seems ready to shove Kamala aside. Politico reports Democrats “aren’t so sure anymore that Newsom would stand down” if she runs. A top Kamala advisor called Newsom “Icarus” for “flying too close to the sun.”
Newsom will eventually crash and burn. Newsom’s failure to understand the situation and state of the electorate is his downfall. His undoing will be in losing his reelection vote or his own Democrat Party taking it down.
Keep checking back.
