It’s a busy and exciting time. I am currently working in Congress to Newsom-proof California by ending: High-Speed Rail, the Gas Car Ban, the Sanctuary State, MediCal for Illegal Immigrants, and the embarrassing month-long Vote Count. And there’s much more to come.
There’s also this news: Kamala Harris is now seriously considering a run for California Governor, CNN reports. She says she’s “not going quietly into the night.” If she does run, I believe California could realistically elect a Republican Governor in 2026.
The plan, it seems, is for Newsom and Kamala to switch roles: as she runs for Governor, he’d run for President. As delusional as that sounds, the plan appears to already be in motion: just yesterday, right on cue, Newsom named a senior Kamala advisor as his new Chief-of-Staff.
The good news is the Trump Administration is shaping up to have strong California representation, with Ric Grenell and Harmeet Dhillon receiving top appointments. And several of my Newsom-proofing bills already have considerable momentum:
My bill to kill High-Speed Rail has become a key example of the sort of waste the Department of Government Efficiency will target. You can read more in Newsweek and watch my Floor Speechannouncing the legislation.
Now that California has finally finished counting votes,
after 37 days, I am sponsoring legislation to stop this national embarrassment by giving state official strict deadlines for future elections. See my Floor Speech lambasting the glacial vote count.
I am introducing legislation to stop Newsom from continuing to spend $3.1 billion each year on healthcare for everyone in the state illegally.
And in one important respect, the Newsom-proofing of California has already begun. Prop. 36, our initiative to make crime illegal again, goes into effect tomorrow. It truly is a new day for California.
