Now that California is not doing policy battle with the White House, Texas and other conservative states have taken former President Donald Trump’s place as Newsom foils, especially as they pursue legislation aimed at restricting abortion and LGBTQ rights.
Gov. Gavin Newsom believes that California must lead the pushback against policies enacted in red states. When Rick Perry was governor of Texas in 2013, he made headlines for his repeated attempts to woo businesses away from California. Perry, a Republican, showed up in Sacramento and bought radio ads decrying California’s taxes and regulations.
“It’s the erosion that we’re experiencing in real time across this country of rights that have been hard fought and well-established — at least for most of my lifetime,” Newsom told us. I’m hardly naive about California’s challenges. Quite the contrary. Our biggest critique has been the homeless and housing and the cost of living. And we’re taking those issues on.
So I do think the Democratic Party has to come together. There’s something really profound happening at the state level, and I just think we’ve been sleepwalking. It’s not an indictment of national party leadership. It’s an indictment of all of us. We’re so situationally focused, and the Republican Party is quite disciplined.
