California GOP Candidate Steve Hilton told Fox News Digital that "Gavin Newsom is a total joke" amid the ongoing anti-ICE riots across Los Angeles.

CNN’s chief data analyst Harry Enten said that California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s name has been searched more than “ever before” since the governor has feuded with President Donald Trump over the immigration protests across Los Angeles.

Gov. Gavin Newsom long insisted that he had no interest in running for president, despite rampant speculation. Now he’s publicly acknowledging that it’s a possibility.

The White House confirmed Wednesday that 330 immigrants had been detained by ICE in five days, as a result of raids spanning businesses across Southern California: two Home Depot stores, a doughnut shop, a car wash and agricultural fields along the Central Coast and in the San Joaquin Valley.

California Republicans have found ways to convince Trump he’s helping the state rather than Newsom before, one expert said.

Governor Newsom signs an executive order reinforcing California's commitment to clean vehicle programs amid federal opposition.

A new Public Policy Institute of California poll for June revealed a decline in support for Gov. Gavin Newsom, while President Donald Trump’s lower approval rating remained mostly unchanged.

After eight years as lieutenant-governor, in 2018 he was elected to California’s top job. He breezed past a recall effort in 2021 (which tried to capitalise on Mr Newsom’s visit to the French Laundry, a posh restaurant in Napa Valley, during covid lockdowns) and won re-election in 2022.
