"Some people talk about, 'This economy is booming, inflation is cooling, lowest unemployment in our lifetimes. ...' All that may be true, but people don't feel that way. They feel like the economy is not supportive," Newsom said in an appearance at a Fresno community college, identifying that gap as a "point of emphasis" in the election.
"I care about Trump supporters. I care about RFK Jr. supporters. I care about Tucker Carlson supporters," Newsom stated, highlighting his intention to reach across party lines and address the needs of all constituents.
Newsom characterized the work in places like the West Fresno campus' apprenticeship program as an "antidote" to that economic disconnect, aiming to provide support and tangible benefits to local communities.
During the last Trump administration, Newsom burnished his national profile by casting himself as a crusading foil to the president, revisiting these themes after the 2024 election.
