The Kamala Conundrum: Why Democrats Are Stuck With Her

December 5th, 2023 1:25 PM

California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom desperately wants to run for president -- now rather than later.

Polls show most Democrats want a candidate other than President Joe Biden, whose poll numbers remain in the tank. Over 60% of Americans consider the country on the wrong track. Biden’s…

NewsBusters Podcast: Newsom, DeSantis, and Democrats at PolitiFact

December 1st, 2023 11:39 PM

The Sean Hannity-moderated debate between Gavin Newsom and Ron DeSantis drew a predictable outcome from PolitiFact. They tried to ignore the raw numbers on Californians leaving Florida (and the reverse) and proclaim Newsom accurate by using a "per capita" measurement for America's most populous state.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Streets of San Francisco

November 22nd, 2023 9:09 AM

At least California Gov. Gavin Newsom, the former mayor of San Francisco, admits it. On the eve of a visit to San Francisco by China’s Xi Jinping, the city somehow, someway cleared out downtown homeless encampments. Newsom flat-out cops to the reason why.

Will Gavin Newsom Copy Trump?

October 4th, 2023 2:44 PM

Gavin Newsom wants to be Donald Trump. Eight years ago, Trump took stock of the Republican Party and found it ripe for conquest. Who could stand against him? The Bush dynasty elected two presidents, yet both left office with the GOP in retreat.  If Jeb Bush seemed the inevitable nominee for a few weeks or months in 2015, that was only a sign of how stagnant the party had become.
