Forest fires are raging; a new strain of coronavirus is growing; and his state is running out of water, but the Governor of California. Gavin Newsom (D) heads to Washington DC for a four-day visit, while President Joe Biden takes a trip to the Middle East.
Newsom, whose state has closed schools for more than a year during the coronavirus pandemic and ranks 44th in the US in study results despite high taxes and luxury spending, will receive an education award from her state.
The Associated Press says the award was given to California for its advance towards universal preschool education in 2025. But the AP added that it is believed Newsom is preparing for a presidential career as Democrats try to find ways to eliminate Biden.
Newsom’s strategy was to attack Republican states for socially conservative policies. In doing so, the AP notes, however, will face questions about Newsom’s poor track record in a number of pressing issues for voters in his state.
Last month, lawmakers backed by Newsom agreed to present voters in November with a proposal that would guarantee the right to abortion in the state’s constitution. This powerful Democratic state has some of the strictest gun safety laws in the country, but continues to expand, following a recent Supreme Court ruling, adding new restrictions on the sale of firearms to non-target “ghost guns” and minors.

In May, a California Institute of Public Policy survey revealed that 50% of respondents believed the government was going in the wrong direction. And perhaps most importantly, California is losing its population and its seat in Congress after years of stratospheric growth.
While Newsom points to California as a blue model of state governance in terms of social issues, the state is also cited by red state governors as an example of failed governance on key economic and service delivery issues.
Newsom also faced questions about the claim: His last trip out of state was a family vacation in Montana, a state in which California has banned state-sponsored travel due to a law protecting the sport. women from biological men.
