OPINION: A veto would have cast a cloud over Gavin Newsom's brand as a bold white male progressive who is willing to do the right thing, especially when it comes to remedying historical injustices against people of color.
Gov. Gavin Newsom spent the past few months trading barbs with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, but it was President Joe Biden who delivered the sickest burn to California’s would-be presidential candidate.
Assembly Bill 2183, backed by the legendary United Farm Workers union, makes it easier for farm workers to unionize via mail-in ballots and signed cards indicating a preference for unionization. Newsom had signaled his plans to veto the bill for the second year in a row. His spokeswoman, Erin Mellon, said the governor “cannot support an untested mail-in election process that lacks critical provisions to protect the integrity of the election.” A veto seemed almost certain.
Biden’s statement shifted the dynamic, however, elevating the bill to national prominence and sending shockwaves through the governor’s office.

I also couldn’t help but notice that, just hours before signing the bill, Newsom unleashed a new round of criticism at Biden on MSNBC.
