Gov. Gavin Newsom appears to be adopting the playbook of every presidential candidate, ever.
There’s thetell-all memoir set to launch Tuesday;the two trips in three weeks to Europe to appear ‘presidential’; and the headline-grabbing social media campaign that’s a mirror of Donald Trump’s.
But when the California Post ask him directly whether he was indeed running, Newsom again swatted it away.
“It’s wildly premature,” Newsom said at a Thursday press conference at a Bay Area BART station about funding for public transit systems.
That led to yet another segue into his upcoming memoir, ”Young Man in a Hurry”, which comes up Feb. 24th, and a speech about the Founding Fathers.
“But there is a book — and by the way, it talks a lot about the Bay Area and our respective histories, and, I’m looking forward to sharing it … and we’ll be on that book tour, this weekend and a little bit through next week.”Newsom’s book tour starts in Nashville, Tenn., where he’ll headline a Tennessee Democratic Party fundraiser this weekend, and continues in Georgia, South Carolina, and New Hampshire — the latter two being keyearly voting states in Democratic primaries, Politico reported.
The governor then waxed about the “journey we’re all on together.”
“Not just my journey — we’ll see where it takes us — but it’s a precious time in American history and we’re on the 250th anniversary of this great adventure that our Founding Fathers conceived of in the best of the Roman Republic and Greek democracy.”
He said the rule of law is “challenged right now in unique ways.”
“Whether or not we tempt fate and decide to enter in a particular race or serve in a particular office, all of us have a responsibility and a role at this time to stand tall, and I think that’s represented here today,” he continued.
