The terrible combination of elitism and extremism that has defined Democratic policymaking in California for at least ten years has delivered failure on every front.
Along with most other Democratic politicians in California, Gov. Gavin Newsom still doesn’t seem to understand what happened in the 2024 election. For years, Newsom, along with California cronies like former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and, of course, Vice President Kamala Harris, bragged about their state being a 'model for the nation.' In one sense--not the one they intended, of course--that’s true. California became a model of what not to do.
The terrible combination of elitism and extremism that has defined Democratic policymaking in my home state for at least the last decade has delivered failure on every front. Despite having the highest taxes in the nation, despite the state’s budget nearly doubling in the last ten years , California has the highest rate of poverty in America. We have the highest housing costs, the lowest homeownership, highest gas and utility bills, and the worst business climate--ten years in a row.
In many ways, the contest between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris represented a battle between the ‘blue state model’ championed by Gavin Newsom in California, and the ‘red state model’ that has driven people and businesses out of California and into the arms of more welcoming states like Texas, Tennessee and Florida. Of course, the red state model won and the blue state model was roundly rejected. You would think that would make blue state leaders like Newsom pause and reflect.
