Gavin Newsom, the governor of California and self-declared heir apparent to the Democratic presidential election, has only veered so far to the correct that he runs the risk of being impeached by his country’s Democratic-dominated Assembly.  ,

Evidently, that is a prank. Democrats always remove their own from office, even when they become liabilities; they simply expel them to the political wilderness. You and I have been watching for about a year as they attempted to do the same to a Democrat senator in session, John Fetterman of Pennsylvania. John McCain’s final open appearance would have been on the part of a milk carton in 1990 if Republicans had the same brutal instincts.
But I’ll leave it there.  ,
Why am I now covering past Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s continued try to reinvent himself in time for the 2028 Democrat primaries as it seems like only earlier today? [It was merely earlier today, Editor]]
If, as you’re about to see, he earned a good dose of VodkaPundit-style contempt.
Newsom’s revised 2025-26 funds proposal, which was just published in today’s Los Angeles Times, “reverses his signature policy of providing free healthcare to all low-income illegal immigrants.”
Name. a scheme.
A blatant policy contortionist could only manage a Triple Lindy backflip, which Newsom pulled. Adult illegal aliens will no longer be able to apply for coverage under Newsom’s new proposal as of January 1, and existing coverage will cost$ 100 per month. Although it may not seem like much, the distinction between getting coverage for nothing and having to pay perhaps a small sum is significant.

Gavin’s Big Backdown is based on the assertion that his policy’s” expenses exceed expectations and the condition anticipates challenging financial times away.”
Surprisingly, I’m certain.  ,
In its courage, Newsom’s earlier shift was richer than Corinthian set. Newsom” called on plenty of cities and counties to ban homeless encampments on streets, vehicle lines, and other public house this year, putting pressure on local governments to do the same.”
Follow my lead, please! As president of San Francisco, the man who made ending poverty his guiding principle. Under Newsom’s leadership, encampments, open-air medicine stalls, and “poop maps” gradually emerged as the city’s claims to fame.
Friends, follow his example, but perhaps don’t sandal.
Sometimes I wonder if Newsom’s frequent social backflips are his retelling of David Plouffe’s” stray volt” theory from his time serving in the Obama administration. According to Major Garrett of CBS,” Controversy sparks focus, attention provokes talk, and talk embeds previously unknown or marginalized suggestions in the public awareness.”
Newsom did say or do anything to make himself known.  ,
I used to know why politicians make for open-minded policies toward centrism. Or, to be more specific, why primary voters also fall for it every day. After all, if lower-propensity D citizens lean more to the left in the Democratic primary, doesn’t Newsom or Buttigieg do better to play up their democratic credentials before and during the primaries and then shift to the core for the common election?

Republicans typically do this because they play up their conservative credentials during the primaries before moving to the center after winning the nomination.
In 2028, I believe something has changed. Thanks to four years of nearly total implementation ( albeit completely destructive ) under the Biden administration, progressivism has a toxic stench now. Any Democratic candidate who wants to win the White House needs to distance themselves from Bill and Hillary Clinton on the night the Monica Lewinsky story blew out wide.
Can Newsom really put that much distance between himself and Biden, or from his own performance as a mayor and governor?
There are two things for sure, despite the fact that I don’t know the answer to that one. He will risk breaking his spine in the stretch, and his hair will still be perfect.
