"I’m crawling out of my skin for you," Newsom said."I want you to know you're not alone. You matter." California Gov. Gavin Newsom began a national tour in red states to support Democratic candidates and attack Republican politicians. The governor’s attack was not limited to DeSantis’ college appointments but included critiques on DeSantis' conservative policies as well."Fifty years of progress, 50 years on voting rights, on civil rights, LGBTQ rights, abortion rights, contraceptive rights, all of that at threat, state after state, led by your state and your governor with a zest for demonization and othering people." Newsom said.
