During a portion of an interview with the Fox News Channel aired on Monday’s broadcast of “Hannity,” California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) responded to California’s net population loss by stating that it was an anomaly, other states lost population, California is doing just fine, and that there was greater per capita migration from Florida to California than vice versa.
Newsom said, “18 states had declines in population. California’s was 0.3%. You didn’t bring up any of the red states that had [declines in population]. It’s an interesting fact…an interesting omitted fact, per capita, more Floridians moved to California than Californians moving to Florida. … In 2021, California had 7.8% of GDP growth in this country, one of the fastest-growing economies anywhere on planet Earth. This state continues to be the tentpole of the American economy. 25.6% of all American jobs came from this state in April. In the last two fiscal years, we enjoyed $177.7 billion in operating surpluses. We’re on our way to be the fourth-largest economy — eat your heart out, Germany — in the world. Number 1 in R&D, venture capital, more scientists, researchers, more Nobel laureates, more patents emanating out of this state than any other state in America. With all due respect, Florida doesn’t even come close. Eat your heart out, Texas. California continues to be the dominant economic engine for the American economy

Illegals are moving to California as they will give them welfare benefits.
Well, after all. It is “Pried” month. Tell us how proud you are of Cauliphonya there Skippy.

Which states lost congressional seats, electoral votes and millions in federal $$$ due to the results of the census (despite the cheating)?
And which states gained congressional seats, electoral votes and millions in federal $$$ due to the results of the census?
Thought so
Newson sold his cheap and flabby soul to the Woke Movement. That’s why he can’t see that the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming freight train.
And don't forget the "reparations" for the black ones..
There must be something in his hair wax that forces his meager joke of a brain’s IQ to live way past six standard deviations to the left. (Heh, double meaning there - for clueless liberals.)
San Fran, Portland and Seattle are all examples of what the left has in mind for the USA
Could be because the leadership, from top to bottom, in the state is anomalous itself, and yes the impact will be great following the lag period it takes for reality to show its affects.
Good politician answer. Not being locked in by the premise of the biased journalist’s question. Something our side needs to learn.
I think old Newsom needs to wake up & smell reality. I call BS on him.
Per capita?? lol. Well. In. Few more years of NET losses, the per capita number might flip too.

He strings together 10 statistical lies so fast they are harder to rebut. However he says “CA had 7.8% of the GDP growth in the country in 2021”. CA has 18% of the population of the country so 7.8% of the GDP growth is embarrassingly low. He then states how CA has such a big economy, yeah it was just as big 15 years ago before he took over, its like Abbot saying “Texas has more land than any state except Alaska” as though he can take credit for it.
The sad thing is, that is just the West Coast. NYC, Philly, Chicago... the list is long and horrible.
“It’s an interesting fact…an interesting omitted fact, per capita, more Floridians moved to California than Californians moving to Florida”
Great, the lie here is “per Capita”. The population of CA is 250% of the population of FL. So if 500,000 move from FL to CA and 1,200,000 move from CA to FL, a net migration of 700,000 to FL from CA, then PER CAPITA more are moving to CA. What bullsh*t.
” In the last two fiscal years, we enjoyed $177.7 billion in operating surpluses”
ALL from Covid relief funds, every state had record surpluses.
This guy is a dangerously good liar.
