California Gov. Gavin Newsom has announced that he will not be running for president against Joe Biden in 2024. The real wonder is that he was ever considering it.
The first has to do with Biden's standing after the 2022 election result. Democrats avoided the so-called red wave that so many had expected. But this has one major negative effect for them — their party's failure to lose big in 2022 puts Biden in the catbird seat for renomination. If he wants it, he's going to be nearly impossible to beat. This might be the Democrats' biggest problem in 2024, but there is no chance that Newsom is their solution.
The Golden State is literally losing population — not just losing ground in the census by not growing fast enough, like Ohio or New York, but actually losing population. That's not normal for states. Newsom has dishonestly attempted to blame some kind of visa policy, and the excuse is laughable. He thinks people are dumb enough not to know that visa policies apply to all U.S. states equally. California's problem is not about visas.
Another is that California's legislature has worked to preserve in amber a housing market where only the wealthiest can obtain a place to live. That has sent the state's middle class cashing out their expensive houses and moving to more affordable and more livable places that lack the massive crime and homeless problems. Newsom has actually tried to fix this, and he has proven completely impotent. His stated housing goals have been rolled back to the point of absurdity.
Yet another reason for the exodus is that California is making war on its local gig economy, attempting to force independent contractors into employee wage labor. This is the Democrats' strategy for reviving unions, by the way, which is sort of like a plan for making water run back uphill. They are going to ruin the market for ordinary people to achieve self-employment and independence so that political allies can capitalize.
