Commentary: If Gavin Newsom wants to be president, he's got work to do - starting at home
Briefly

A recent poll indicates that a significant majority of California voters believe Governor Gavin Newsom is more invested in a potential presidential run than addressing pressing state issues. His approval rating among registered voters stands at a lukewarm 46%, indicating dissatisfaction compared to other Democratic governors. While Newsom publicly downplays his presidential aspirations, stating he needs a compelling vision to run, his actions suggest otherwise. He faces scrutiny as his state's problems mount and his attention seems diverted towards national ambitions.
"I have to have a burning why, and I have to have a compelling vision that distinguishes myself from anybody else. Without that... I don't deserve to even be in the conversation."
"California's registered voters believe - by a margin of more than 2 to 1 - the state's gallivanting governor is more focused on boosting his chances of winning the White House than fixing the multitude of problems facing him here at home."
