Governor Gavin Newsom's attempts to position himself as a moderate political candidate ahead of a potential 2028 presidential run are jeopardized by his significant overspending on health care for undocumented immigrants. Amid concerns over inflation and immigration issues, particularly from MAGA Republicans, Newsom's advocacy for Medicaid-like services for all low-income residents, including undocumented immigrants, may be perceived unfavorably by moderate voters in swing states. The challenge relies on reconciling progressive policies with broader national appeal, complicating his image as a viable candidate.
Newsom's overspending on health care for undocumented immigrants contradicts his aim to present as a moderate in preparation for a potential presidential run in 2028.
His groundbreaking policy to provide health care for all low-income individuals, regardless of immigration status, may alienate swing state voters and reinforce conservative stereotypes.
