adminCalifornia Governor Gavin Newsom is making his move for the White House in 2028. His polling numbers just jumped to 13 percent after months of attacking President Trump on social media. This is pure political theater from a man who cares more about his own career than fixing California’s problems.
Newsom recently took a trip to South Carolina, which hosts early Democratic primaries. He claims he’s not running for president, but his actions tell a different story. You don’t visit key primary states unless you’re planning something big.
The liberal media is eating up Newsom’s tough guy act against Trump. Democratic voters apparently love his confrontational style and want more fighters like him. But where was this fighting spirit when California faced real crises like homelessness, crime, and skyrocketing costs?
Newsom has been trolling Trump online and pushing back against conservative policies at every turn. He’s even trying to redraw California’s congressional districts to steal more House seats from Republicans. This is the same man who survived a recall election because Californians were fed up with his failures.
While Newsom plays political games, ordinary Californians suffer under his disastrous leadership. The state has the highest taxes in the nation, cities overrun with homeless camps, and businesses fleeing to red states. But Newsom is too busy building his national profile to care about governing.
His rise in the polls shows how desperate Democrats are for someone to take on Trump. They’re willing to overlook California’s decline under Newsom’s watch just to find their next political savior. This is exactly what’s wrong with today’s Democratic Party.
Newsom represents everything wrong with liberal politics today. He’s all style and no substance, more interested in viral moments than real solutions. Californians deserve better than a governor who treats their state like a stepping stone to higher office.
The 2028 race is already heating up, and Newsom is positioning himself as the anti-Trump candidate Democrats want. But Americans should ask themselves if they really want a president who couldn’t even fix California’s basic problems.
