California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the formation of a nationally focused political action committee with all the trappings of a White House bid. He'd be better off focusing on what's in front of him.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom launched an offensive in his war with Big Oil. The battle didn’t go as planned.In a poll released last month by Quinnipiac University, seven in 10 California voters said they don’t want Newsom to run for president in 2024, a view shared by 54% of Democrats.
That’s not surprising. Voters, not unreasonably, want politicians to do the job they were elected to do.The announcement of his new campaign committee garnered the national attention Newsom craves, and the governor’s travels will surely elevate his profile further, bulk up his political treasury and forge a countrywide network of connections.“National reporters are going to ask him about Donald Trump and Kevin McCarthy and marriage equality.
“Any day he’s talking about abortion rights or DeSantis instead of housing and homelessness,” Schnur dryly noted, “is a good day for him.”But if he wants to run for president in, say, 2028 or beyond, Newsom might do better to focus more on the many not-insignificant problems facing him in California, as opposed to waging a kinda-sorta-but-not-really campaign for the White House. Charity, the saying goes, begins at home.
