Gavin Newsom Has His Next Stunt in Mind: Challenging JD Vance to a Debate
Rebecca Downs
On Friday, Vice President JD Vance visited Los Angeles in light of the city allowing for anti-ICE, pro-illegal immigration, and even pro-terror raids to get out of control. It turns out Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA), who has been spending far too much time on social media ranting and raving against the Trump administration, has a message for Vance, as the governor looks to challenge the vice president to a debate.
On Friday afternoon, Newsom put out a video message about Vance's visit, which he called "important" as he referenced the "devastating" wildfires that hit California in January, when the Biden-Harris administration was still in office. President Donald Trump, during his first term had also gotten into it with Newsom about fire risks. The governor also further pushed for Vance to make a plea to Trump on disaster relief, which he has gotten into it with Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) about.
In a subsequent post that tagged Vance's X account, Newsom indicated it was "nice" for the vice president "to finally make it out to California," though it's worth noting it was a trip Vance made becaue of te failures of local and state leaders, like Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass.
"Since you’re so eager to talk about me, how about saying it to my face?" Newsom then suggested. "Let's debate. Time and place?"
