California Governor Gavin Newsom is scheduled to speak at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin, Texas, billed as a talk 'on what the nation's most populous state can teach the other 49 — including (Texas).'
So far, he has bought TV ads in Florida urging people to move to California, newspaper ads in Texas decrying the state's lax gun laws, and billboards in seven conservative states — including Texas — urging women to come to California if they need an abortion.
Newsom's actions come after he blamed his own political party for being too soft, urging them to stand up more firmly in light of recent conservative victories at the U.S. Supreme Court that overturned federal abortion protections and loosened restrictions on guns. Newsom spent most of this week in New York City, speaking at various climate change conferences while taking time to poke conservative governors he says are"doubling down on stupid." He specifically called out Texas republican Gov. Greg Abbot on Tuesday during a brief interview at the Clinton Global Initiative, saying he and other Republican governors are"as dumb as they want to .
Nationally, Democratic President Joe Biden has been less vocal in these political battles, creating an opening for someone like Newsom to step in and take on the Republican Party's most vocal leaders, said Eric Schickler, co-director of the Institute of governmental Studies at the University of California-Berkeley.
