This is the week that Gavin Newsom stopped thinking so much.

California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass have both opposed deployment of the National Guard and Marines to the city.

California Governor Gavin Newsom is gaining traction among Democrats for his strong opposition to President Trump's deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles without his consent, following ICE raid protests.

Newsom offered a brief yet blistering summary of his talk with the president just before he deployed the National Guard to protests in Los Angeles.

After eight years as lieutenant-governor, in 2018 he was elected to California’s top job. He breezed past a recall effort in 2021 (which tried to capitalise on Mr Newsom’s visit to the French Laundry, a posh restaurant in Napa Valley, during covid lockdowns) and won re-election in 2022.

The governor highlighted his work with ICE in California but said that President Trump was “trying to gin things up to create problems” at protests.

Gov. Gavin Newsom long insisted that he had no interest in running for president, despite rampant speculation. Now he’s publicly acknowledging that it’s a possibility.
