Gavin Newsom turned Donald Trump’s threat to “intercede” on homelessness back on the president, welcoming federal help but faulting Trump for floating budget cuts to safety net programs
Long accustomed to deriding California as an example of failed liberal governance, Trump has increasingly cited the state’s homeless epidemic as exhibit A.
“We’re looking at it very seriously. We may intercede. We may do something to get that whole thing cleaned up,” Trump added. “If interceding means cutting budgets to support services to get people off the street, he’s been very successful in advancing those provisions in addition to the massive Social Security cuts and Medicare cuts — two things he promised he wouldn’t do,” said Newsom, who earlier faulted Trump for trying to slash funding for Section 8 housing vouchers.
“I think Donald Trump should be pointing out the reason he got to 2.9 percent” GDP growth was thanks in large part to the strength of California’s economy, Newsom said, which is principally “emanating from the San Francisco Bay Area and the Los Angeles region.”
