Joe Biden
paints a vitriolic portrait of Gavin Newsom's main adversary.
"
A Republican governor blocking progress against the coronavirus, which is also against women and against workers, climate skeptic, who does not believe in free choice,
" hammered the American president.
The choice, it should be absolutely clear
: Gavin Newsom.
With Gavin, you have a governor to make sure that Donald Trump's dark, divisive, and destructive politics never find a place in California.

Beat Trumpism

” the Democratic governor warned.
Trumpism is on the ballots in California.
And that's why it's so important.
Not just for us, the 40 million people of the largest and most populous state, but also to send a message across the United States of America.
