CA Poverty crisis may prevent the NEWSOM national climb

Gavin Newsom pursuing what it seems to be Pre -building images to a presidential campaign in 2028 And much of these efforts include appearances in widespread podcasts.

These podcasts, such as the one who participates comedian Joe Roganare the equivalents of 2025 of Radio talk show and interviews in newspapers that ambitious politicians visit in the past.

It is known that a little -known one -time governor of Georgia named Jimmy Carter breaks into the presidency in 1976, spending months to deal with the country with the country with the country Assistant Jody PowellSharing rooms in cheap hotels and searching for interviews from DJ radio and local journalists.

I can testify to this personally. During the Convention of the State Democratic Party in Sacramento, Powell tirelessly gave interviews with Carter, but a little benefit. At that time, Carter was not political, darkened by more famous rivals of the Convention as a former astronaut John GlennS

The media may have changed, but ambitious politicians are not. They want to make a name recognition to claim places in the unofficial lists of potential candidates supported by political media, surveys and potential campaign supporters.

As the governor of the most populated country of the nation, who presents himself as an avant-garde political theorist, Newsom has obvious advantages in seeking more recognition of a name. However, he also has obligations, starting with the fact that his country has serious problems that have not had little or no improvements during his rule.

While Newsom is a fan of this, High levels of unemploymentpoverty and homelessnessThanks largely to his Extremely high dwellingutilities and other life needs.

We have received another reminder of the chronic poverty crisis in California this week in Report from the Institute of Public Policy in California For what happened after the Covid-19 pandemic pandemic and federal support programs were completed. PPIC and Stanford Center for Poverty and Inequality have used a way to measure poverty, which takes into account not only income but also costs of living. Similar to the thrust with The alternative way of the Bureau of Census of the PopulationS

Of them California Poverty Index, The PPIC report said the percentage increased from 15.2% in 2022 to 16.9% in 2023, which means that about 6.4 million Californians lived in poverty, with 19.9% in Los Angeles County being the highest of each county.

Even more disturbing is the calculation that when reporting families in almost poverty, 34.8% of Californians experience economic suffering in 2023 and there is no reason to believe that the situation has improved significantly since then. This number is combined with the fact that at least a Third of the Californians qualify for Medi-CalState Health Program for Poor People.

The Census Bureau also separates California in its Further calculation of poverty This includes costs of life and other factors left by the official poverty rate. While the official poverty rate in California of 11.7% for the period 2021-23 is almost identical to the national percentage, its alternative percentage, 15.4%, is the highest of each country and significantly higher than that of Texas and Florida, two red states that Newsom often compares to California.

There is no doubt that the high poverty rate in California is rooted in its high costs of living, as its average host income of $ 95,921 is the fifth highest in the country.

It is generally accepted that increasing costs of life are one of the main reasons why Donald Trump He won last year’s presidential election. Although inflation has been modeled somewhat in recent months – although it can increase due to Trump’s rates – the cost of living is likely to color the presidential race in 2028. This can weigh strongly on Newsom.
