California Gov. Gavin Newsom is almost certainly trying to set up a run for the Democrat presidential nomination in 2028, and so far he's doing that by screeching about Trump, projecting and either ignoring his record in his own state or lying about it.
Here's Newsom's latest attempt to try and distract:

Incredible work, @realDonaldTrump!
Gas prices SKYROCKETED in Indiana overnight by 17¢.

Amazing stuff, @realDonaldTrump!
Really, dude?
OK, fine, let's talk about gas prices in U.S. states:

Newsom's certainly trying to avoid talking about gas prices in his own state!
