Gavin Newsom has a unique way of courting California voters.
California’s governor has run his second out-of-state ad this month, first in Florida and now in Texas. In the ads, Newsom is targeting two prominent Republican governors who many tout as potential GOP presidential candidates on two big, national issues: gun control and abortion.
The Gavin for Governor campaign reportedly bought space today in the Austin-American Statesman, Houston Chronicle and El Paso Times. Newsom also today signed CA Senate Bill 1327 today, a measure that uses a method similar to Texas’s bounty-style anti-abortion law to target gun makers.
Today’s ad revolves around a quote Gov. Greg Abbott made as he signed the Texas anti-abortion measure in May of last year:
“Our creator endowed us with the right to life. And yet … children lose their right to life every year because of abortion. In Texas, we work to save those lives.”
In Newsom’s ad, however, the word “abortion” is crossed out and replaced with “gun violence” and the word “Texas” is crossed out and replaced with “California,” so the quote reads thusly:
“Our creator endowed us with the right to life. And yet … children lose their right to life every year because of gun violence. In California, we work to save those lives.”
The ad money is likely a welcome boon to the local papers and could presage a rich presidential campaign cycle for regional media outlets if the big-state governors battle each other across state lines.
Newsom also joined the Donald Trump-fronted Truth Social last month, where he called out “America’s red-state murder problem” in a post that contrasted his efforts with those of GOP governors.
And late this morning, Newsom made an appearance in Los Angeles to tout the signing of

convicted of two counts of contempt of Congress, the longtime Donald Trump ally welcomed Alex Jones to his “War Room” podcast — where he called the notorious conspiracy theorist “a man of action” and a great political “thinker.”The pair piled on the (mostly incomprehensible) praise for each other pretty high, to put it mildly.“As much and as important as that leadership is, the true thing that you’ve done, which is stunning, if you look at the evidence of doubt of the facts, you are one of the great thinkers of this,” Bannon told Jones. “That is very rare. You’ve got to go back almost to the revolutionary generation and see that.”CNN anchor Jake Tapper was quick to point out that Jones was sued for defamation by the families of victims of the Sandy Hook mass shooting after calling the tragedy a “giant hoax.”“The person Bannon is praising, Alex Jones, spread the malicious lie that the Sandy Hook killings were a hoax,” Tapper wrote.
