[NYPOST] ''Two years ago Gavin Newsom was widely seen as a rising Democratic star and likely future presidential candidate,'' but ''how quickly things change,'' snarks Joel Kotkin at UnHerd.
In his weekend trip to Cali, President Trump ''wasted no time in attacking the state's progressive policies,'' calling ''on Newsom to change the state's water policies.''
''Trump's demands have drawn attention to the state's self-inflicted wounds, and its pattern of astounding incompetence,'' while his energy plans make ''things all the more difficult for Newsom's climate policies,'' since ''Texas, Oklahoma, North Dakota, Pennsylvania and Ohio are ready to get richer,'' while ''Newsom is taking California in the opposite direction.''
''As the fires are extinguished, so too are the California governor's presidential hopes.''
