- Former President Donald Trump repeatedly attacked Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) while barely discussing Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), his top 2024 Republican rival, during a speech at the California GOP convention on Friday.
- At Trump’s first mention of Newsom, the crowd of Republicans erupted in loud boos. “He did a great job as mayor of San Francisco,” Trump mocked Newsom.
- Trump later directly referenced Newsom’s role this week surrounding the second Republican National Committee debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, which Trump skipped.
- “Gavin has become crooked Joe Biden’s top surrogate, I think, because he doesn’t think he’s gonna make it,” Trump said.
