California Gov. Gavin Newsom has launched a new political action committee to boost Democrats in Republican states.
Newsom blamed those governors for banning books and targeting transgender children. Republicans, meanwhile, have criticized Newsom for using taxpayer money to pay for women in other states to come to California for abortions and to cover the health care expenses of people living in the country without legal permission.
A donation blitz to candidates in other states is a typical pathway to a presidential campaign for ambitious politicians. Most of the time, money is targeted at swing states or places with early presidential primaries where donations can pay dividends later. Other Democrats have tried to use their star power to help candidates around the country — some in heavily Republican areas.
Such efforts have not always been successful. In 2013, Jeremy Bird, who was the national field director for then-President Barack Obama's reelection campaign the previous year, helped organize Battleground Texas, which vowed to make long-term financial and organizing commitments to Democratic causes in the nation's largest Republican state.
