Gavin Newsom Is In Trouble With Congress – This Will Go Really Bad for Him

Gavin Newsom would be an unmitigated disaster as president of the United States. How do I know this? Because he’s been an unmitigated disaster for California.

Oh sure, California has the world’s fourth-largest economy, and Newsom touts that whenever possible.

But California leads the nation in several negative metrics, most notably claiming the highest cost-adjusted poverty rate in the country (around 17.7%), the highest rate of homelessness, and some of the highest combined state and local tax burdens, including the highest gas taxes and maximum marginal income tax rates.
