On Thursday, former President Donald Trump shared a new moniker for California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, a top campaign surrogate for President Joe Biden who is widely seen as a potential White House contender in the future.
The swipe at Newsom happened as Trump delivered remarks during a visit to the U.S.-Mexico border in Eagle Pass, Texas, while speaking on the topic of illegal immigration — a hot button issue in the run-up to November’s election.
“You look at what this Governor New Scum from California — isn’t that his name? New Scum. What he’s done to California is unbelievable,” Trump said while critiquing policies that he argued were driving illegal immigration into the United States.
