He's a rat. I looked at California's current polling and it looks like Newsom is going to win re-election. So as rotten to the core Newsom is, he's a reflection of the majority of voters in California. I grew up and lived most of my life in California. It used to be a great place to live. California has a little of everything plus some of the best weather in the US. But the government has made the state unlivable.
I live in Utah now. I love it here but there are no oceans but Utah has everything else that California has. My wife only misses California in the winter. It's a lot colder in Utah.
