2026 may entertain political junkies, but state’s sluggish economy merits spotlight Today Us News



As the new year begins, there’s no shortage of political trends to keep Californians preoccupied, entertained or perhaps appalled — particularly the state’s transcontinental feud with President Donald Trump.

There is Gov. Gavin Newsom’s all-but-announced campaign for president, centered on his self-appointed role of resistor-in-chief to Trump. As Newsom continues to troll Trump this year we may learn whether it continues to advance Newsom as a White House frontrunner or becomes tiresome and off-putting.

As 2025 ended Axios, a news website, reported that Newsom’s potential rivals are ratcheting up efforts to undermine his bid, arguing that, as a California progressive, he’s unelectable.

Another point of political fixation is Newsom’s successful effort to gerrymander California’s 52 congressional seats to help Democrats recapture control of the House in 2026. Whether it works is a question hanging over his presidential ambitions.
