Tim Walz and Wes Moore came to South Carolina earlier. This week it is Gavin Newsom. Andy Beshear is on the schedule, too.
The sitting governors are in the mix as candidates for the 2028 presidential election, and this state – politically red as it may be – was lifted in importance by former President Joe Biden. First, he resurrected his primary chances ahead of the 2020 election, then he sought to make it the first stop in the calendar, saying it was more representative of the nation’s voters.
“What we’re experiencing is America in reverse,” Newsom told the Kershaw County Democratic Party crowd. “They’re trying to bring us back to a pre-1960s world on voting rights. You know it well. Civil rights. LGBTQ rights. Women’s rights. And not just access to abortion but also access to simple reproductive care contraceptives.”
Newsom’s meet and greets have been a contrast to the Minnesota governor’s visit to the state party’s convention May 31. Walz told his audience, speaking of second-term Republican President Donald Trump, they should “bully the s— out of him back.”
