During Gov. Gavin Newsom's recent political limbo, his every action is evaluated in relation to his presidential aspirations. After a promising start as a key Biden supporter and Democratic figure, Newsom receded from the public eye once Kamala Harris became the frontrunner for Democratic nomination. Now appearing to stage a comeback, he initiated a California lawsuit against the tariffs instituted by Trump, framing it as essential to protect the state's economy and federal budget, thereby potentially positioning himself as a major Democratic voice for the future.
Newsom's attempts at a national political comeback could backfire, especially considering his lack of resistance to Trumpâs tactics during his period of absence from public discourse.
With the California lawsuit against Trump's tariffs, Newsom aims to position himself not only as a defender of his state but potentially as the leading Democratic voice against Trump's policies.
