California Gov. Gavin Newsom was the first to shut down his state and the last to reopen schools, yet former President Trump is branding Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis the 'lockdown governor.'
The California governor hedges his bet on Joe Biden running again.
Florida"had fifty-eight percent higher per capita death rates under COVID. That's freedom? Fifty-eight percent higher per capita death rates?" Newsom said in an April 12 interview. Former President Donald Trump, center, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, right, and California Gov. Gavin Newsom, left "Absolutely, we see this as an opportunity to reshape the way we do business and how we govern," he said at the time.
Anti-lockdown protests broke out in California in early May 2020, which led to hundreds of arrests. Then later that month, major protests swept the country over the Minneapolis police death of George Floyd. Newsom defended the Floyd protesters at the time, saying, "To those who want to express themselves. ... God bless you. Keep doing it. Your rage is real."
Around the same time, Newsom announced $600 million in taxpayer funds would be spent on hotel rooms for homeless people in an effort to combat COVID-19. Newsom, whose candidacy and recall fight was largely funded by teachers unions, had previously ordered all schools, including private, to close on April 1, 2020, for the rest of the school year. He was later sued over the private school closures, and in a win for school choice advocates more than a year later, the U.S.
Roughly two weeks after the curfew mandate, Newsom issued a new stay-at-home order banning non-essential business and travel, warning that"we need to do everything we can to stem the tide."

The next month, Newsom mandated that all school staff either get vaccinated or undergo weekly COVID-19 testing, and that anyone who attend an indoor event with 1,000 or more people be required to show proof of vaccination or a recent negative COVID-19 test. "As you know we have not been shy. We have continued to lean in," Newsom said at the time."We hope this encourages folks to get vaccinated."
In December 2021, Newsom issued a new universal indoor mask mandate for everyone older than 2 and mandated booster shots for health care workers.again by partying with San Francisco Mayor London Breed and then-Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti without a mask at a 49ers-Rams game at SoFi Stadium, which also had its own mask mandate.In May 2022, California’s department of finance announced that its population had declined for a second year in a row.
Members of small business owners take part in a 'Save Small Business' protest in Los Angeles, California on December 12, 2020. In February, the Paragon Health Institute study released a study saying virtually the same, that more severe lockdowns did not significantly improve health outcomes but led to worse economic and education outcomes in states like California.
For the first time in years, California is facing a $22.5-billion projected budget deficit after boasting about a robust surplus less than a year ago. This, despite being the No. 1 state in the country for highest income taxes, sales taxes and having the second-highest gasoline tax in the nation, second only to Pennsylvania.Republicans and Democrats alike after he proposed slashing his budget commitment for foster care services by two-thirds in order to help make up for the budget shortfall.
