HAPPENING TODAY: Gov. Newsom to deliver California State of the State
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- California Gov. Gavin Newsom will give his annual State of the State address on Tuesday, a statewide platform to share his increasingly optimistic message for the nation's most populous state in a year he will face voters for reelection.
Just six months ago, voters overwhelmingly rejected an attempt to remove Newsom from office. And since then, Larry Elder - his most well-known and well-funded Republican rival - has bowed out of the November election. "It's been an extraordinary, extraordinary few years," Newsom said Saturday during a speech to the state Democratic Endorsing Convention."I'm telling you, I mean this with the core of my bones, the best is yet to come."
