Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom has taken out full page ads in Texas newspapers targeting Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott in an apparent electoral stunt that one mainstream media outlet has described as an attempt by Newsom at “trolling” his Texas counterpart.The ads, which will reportedly run in the Austin American-Statesman, Houston Chronicle and El Paso Times, call attention to Newsom’s move on Thursday to sign a bill allowing Californians to sue those involved with the use of so-called “ghost guns” – legislation aimed at mimicking a recent Texas law letting residents sue abortion providers.“Today Governor Newsom signed SB 1327, California’s answer to Texas’ perverse bill that placed bounties on doctors and patients,” reads an advance copy of the ad in question, which was distributed to the press by the Newsom campaign.The ads seem to confirm suspicions that, after surviving a state-wide recall vote last year, the California governor is poised to take over the Democratic presidential nomination should the aging – and increasingly unpopular – President Joe Biden decline to seek reelection in 2024.From his mid-July trip to Washington, DC, that included meetings with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-CA), and Vice President Kamala Harris, to his recent foray onto former President Donald Trump’s Truth Social platform, Newsom’s actions seem to run contrary to his declaration in May that he had “less than zero interest” in a run at the Oval Office.Amid a broader push to position himself as a liberal counterweight to Florida’s DeSantis and Abbott in Texas, Newsom’s latest stunt – aimed at voters well outside his constituency – will only fuel suspicions that he has bigger ambitions than Sacramento.

Our Ghost Gun Bill Beats Your 'Perverse' Abortion Law: Newsom Tries to Troll Texas' Abbott With Ads
Newsom’s gimmick is the latest stunt that seems to reinforce speculation that the California governor has his eye on a run at the White House as soon as 2024.
Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom has taken out full page ads in Texas newspapers targeting Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott in an apparent electoral stunt that one mainstream media outlet has described as an attempt by Newsom at “trolling” his Texas counterpart.
The ads, which will reportedly run in the Austin American-Statesman, Houston Chronicle and El Paso Times, call attention to Newsom’s move on Thursday to sign a bill allowing Californians to sue those involved with the use of so-called “ghost guns” – legislation aimed at mimicking a recent Texas law letting residents sue abortion providers.
“Today Governor Newsom signed SB 1327, California’s answer to Texas’ perverse bill that placed bounties on doctors and patients,” reads an
advance copy of the ad in question, which was distributed to the press by the Newsom campaign.
“If Texas can ban abortion and endanger lives, California can ban deadly weapons of war and save lives. If Governor Abbott truly wants to protect the right to life, we urge him to follow California’s lead.”
The ads seem to confirm suspicions that, after surviving a state-wide recall vote last year, the California governor is poised to take over the Democratic presidential nomination should the aging – and increasingly unpopular – President Joe Biden decline to seek reelection in 2024.
From his mid-July trip to Washington, DC, that included meetings with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-CA), and Vice President Kamala Harris, to his recent foray onto former President Donald Trump’s Truth Social platform, Newsom’s actions seem to run contrary to his declaration in May that he had “less than zero interest” in a run at the Oval Office.
Amid a broader push to position himself as a liberal counterweight to Florida’s DeSantis and Abbott in Texas, Newsom’s latest stunt – aimed at voters well outside his constituency – will only fuel suspicions that he has bigger ambitions than Sacramento.
