Newsom's Southern Swing on Voting Rights | US News

Governor Gavin Newsom is hitting the South next week for a high-stakes four-day tour through Alabama, South Carolina, and North Carolina—framed as a defiant stand against voting rights erosion and civil liberties rollbacks, echoing the 1960s civil rights struggle. He’ll spotlight recent court rulings threatening mail-in voting and rally support with stops at historic Black colleges, civil rights icons, and key Democratic campaigns. This trip builds on his prior Southern visits and positions South Carolina’s 2028 primary kickoff as a strategic anchor, leveraging the state’s pivotal role in Biden’s 2020 win. With canvassing, rallies, and museum visits on deck, Newsom’s Southern swing underscores his growing national ambitions—and his Campaign for Democracy PAC’s expanding reach—as he eyes a potential 2028 presidential run.
