Gavin Newsom has become President Donald Trump’s critic-in-chief. What Newsom is not, however, is the affordability-in-chief for California.
The country knows that California has the highest gas prices in the Country. The Internet is awash in memes demonstrating that gas prices is California are roughly $2 a gallon higher than in most other states.
That, along with a host of other California problems – from homelessness to housing prices to poverty – present obstacles to Newsom’s presidential ambitions. So, too, does the Iran War.
Newsom, who recently called Israel an “apartheid” state before appearing to backtrack, is against the war in Iran. Almost no prominent Democrat is for it – with the exception of Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania.
Newsom has to be against it to run for the Democrat nomination.
Using the Iran war as his excuse, Newsom now seeks to blame Trump for high gas prices in California.
It is true that the Iran War has resulted in higher gas prices nationally.
The problem for Newsom is that prior to the war in Iran, California already had the highest gas prices in the nation – by a wide margin.
Another problem for Newsom is that in order to win the Democratic Party nomination, he has to prove to the activist Democrat donors that he is far-left on climate issues.
