He is reportedly set to appear in the spin room to talk with media after tonight’s presidential debate, likely to explain why Harris’ flip flopping isn’t really flip flopping or how she’s the agent of change from Joe Biden, even though she copy and pasted her website’s issues page from Biden’s website. At least it surely can’t go worse than Newsom’s morning media where he threw Harris under the bus for not doing more interviews.

Since he’s clearly not interested in talking to Californians today, if any press in the spin room in Philadelphia has the opportunity to ask him some questions tonight, would you mind asking him any and all of the questions below?

On your actual job as governor:

• California is burning. Literally. New wildfires continue to spark while the Southern California skies look like “a nuclear warhead had been set off.” Shouldn’t you be in California dealing with this?
• Much of California has been suffering through record temperatures. According to the LA Times, “the incessant heat has knocked out power to thousands of Californians, fueled wildfires in rugged mountain terrain and forced school administrators to suspend classes or implement minimum days, releasing students earlier than usual.” Shouldn’t you be in California dealing with this?
• New numbers came out this morning showing California’s homeless population in 2024 grew yet again to 186,000 people, up 8% from 2022. This is more than 20 years after your epically failed plan to end homelessness in San Francisco in 10 years. Shouldn’t you be in California dealing with this?
• You called a special session in the legislature on the high gas prices you created. So far, it’s been an embarrassment in governing by a chaotic Democrat supermajority that the Sacramento Bee calls “a big bust.” Shouldn’t you be in California dealing with this?
• Speaking of the farce of a special session you called on gas prices, California currently has the highest gas prices in the country thanks to Democrats’ and your excessive regulations and taxes that drive up prices. Why are you refusing Republican calls to suspend the gas tax? Why are you lying to Californians about what would happen to that revenue? And finally, shouldn’t you be in California dealing with this??

On your preferred job as presidential campaign candidate surrogate:

• How jealous are you that you are not the California Democrat at the top of the ticket?
• Are you secretly hoping Kamala Harris loses so you can run in 2028?
• How did it feel to not get a mainstage speaking slot at the Democrat National Convention when so many other California Democrats did?
• Should any California Democrat be trusted to run this country after what you all have done to our state, driving it to the top of all the wrong lists?
• Are you really in a position to lecture America on who should be the next president, given California on your watch has distinct honors that include highest gas prices, largest homeless population, highest poverty rate, second highest unemployment rate, rising violent crime rates and more?
• Be honest, did you get in trouble with the Harris-Walz campaign when you said the quiet part out loud, mocking their “30-minute convention” coronation of Harris without her earning a single primary vote?
• What about this morning when you said, “I think absolutely, she should do [more interviews]?” Was she mad about that one?

“Gavin Newsom’s insatiable thirst for national relevance is again on full display as he abandons California to help Kamala Harris, despite his home state’s mounting crises. It must be tough for him to watch a fellow radical California Democrat behind the debate podium in a position he so desperately wanted for himself, but it’s time to hang up the unrealistic presidential ambitions and get home to deal with California’s many problems that, so far, he has only made worse.” – CAGOP Chairwoman Jessica Millan Patterson
