Gavin Newsom's Reflections on California's Covid Approach and Presidential Speculations

California Governor Gavin Newsom acknowledges that criticism of the state's Covid-19 policies was valid, stating that with hindsight, he would have done things differently. While not providing specific examples, Newsom mentioned the handling of indoor vs. outdoor spread, masking policies, and vaccine distribution as areas that could have been improved. He defended his decisions by pointing out that other states, like Florida, also faced criticism for their approaches. Newsom also addressed the partisan nature of the pandemic response and expressed concern about health becoming a partisan issue.
