Gavin Newsom Impresses Democratic Insiders

“Gov. Gavin Newsom’s public slugfests with the governors of Texas and Florida over immigration and abortion is generating important national attention,” McClatchy reports.

“But perhaps even more importantly — assuming he has further political aspirations — his more aggressive demeanor is endearing him to influential Democratic insiders.”

“The California governor’s moves, which include billboard and television ads blasting Republicans in GOP-dominated states, fuel speculation that all this is a prelude to a future presidential bid.”
