California’s governor is a leading contender for 2024. But there’s a problem.
Gavin Newsom appears to be making a presidential bid.
Aside from placing full-page ads in Texas newspapers and funding billboards in Indiana — efforts designed to raise his national profile — the California governor is exercising some uncharacteristic moderation. He vetoed drug-injection sites for addicts, for instance, a turnabout from his election pledge in California. What’s changed is not his desire to shoot up junkies but rather his fear that Michiganders or Arizonans may not take well to such a program.
