Conservatives assume that executive governance in California can’t get worse than Gavin Newsom. Democratic voters may prove them wrong. As they head to the polls for the state’s gubernatorial primary today, they have the chance to elevate a true believer in the church of progressivism, which Newsom never was.
You might remember Tom Steyer from his quixotic presidential bid in 2020. A successful hedge fund manager turned self-funded candidate, Steyer spent over $1,300 per vote he received in the Democratic primaries. Though he inundated the airwaves with progressive appeals, there were more appealing progressives in the race. Down but unfortunately not out, Steyer is now dropping another $200 million to become the next governor of California.
