Part 7/14:
Newsome’s failures are not limited to electoral malfeasance. His leadership has been marred by scandals, including mishandling of immigration and public safety. Despite evidence of illegal immigrants obtaining commercial driver’s licenses—sometimes after failing tests—Newsome refuses to halt the issuance process. The transportation secretary announced plans to withdraw millions of dollars in federal funds as retaliation, emphasizing that Newsome prioritizes illegal immigration over safety.
Additionally, Newsome’s political ambitions seem unrelenting, with rumors pointing to a potential 2028 presidential run. This ambition is fueled by his desire to elevate himself beyond California’s failings, despite the obvious disconnect between his self-perception and his actual record.
