Say this for Gavin Newsom, he’s a master of misdirection. California is losing jobs—54,800 during the first three months of this year. Valero this month announced plans to close a major refinery, portending gasoline shortages and price spikes. Insurance and electricity rates are soaring.
Fifty-four percent of Californians say things in the state are generally going in the wrong direction, up 14 points from when Mr. Newsom became governor in January 2019. But by his telling, everything in the Golden State is going swimmingly, or was until Donald Trump started his tariff barrage.
Last week Mr. Newsom boasted that California in 2024 overtook Japan to become the world’s fourth-largest economy. “California isn’t just keeping pace with the world—we’re setting the pace,” he tooted. “While we celebrate this success, we recognize that our progress is threatened by the reckless tariff policies of the current federal administration.”
