Newsom to attend UN climate summit in Brazil as Trump skips

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) is gearing up to attend the 30th annual United Nations Climate Change Conference in Brazil next week, while no member of the Trump administration plans to show up.
Newsom is looking to expand his international status after California voters handed him a redistricting win against President Donald Trump this week. This marks the first time the Democratic governor and likely 2028 presidential contender will attend COP, which begins Nov. 10 and ends Nov. 21.
California’s government is particularly cognizant of climate change and the perceived economic benefits of green energy, whereas the Trump administration has taken strides to move away from renewable energy sources and instead invest in the revival of oil and gas production.
“I just want to make sure everyone understands we’re maybe 2000 miles from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, but we’re a world away in terms of our mindset on these issues,” Newsom told Politico, which reported on his travel plans next week.
Govs. Tony Evers (D-WI) and Michelle Lujan Grisham (D-NM), along with roughly 100 leaders from the United States, are also in Brazil for a portion of the climate conference.
Among the state officials in the delegation that Newsom will lead to the South American country are California Natural Resources Secretary Wade Crowfoot, California Department of Food and Agriculture Secretary Karen Ross, California Public Utilities Commission President Alice Reynolds, California Air Resources Board Chairwoman Lauren Sanchez, and California Tribal Affairs Secretary Christina Snider-Ashtari.
California’s presence at the U.N. climate summit makes sense, considering it became the world’s fourth-largest economy this year.
Newsom’s appearance at the global event comes after he recently said he would consider a possible 2028 presidential run after next year’s midterm elections. His term as governor ends in January 2027.

California has nearly 2 million more registered democrats. To say Newsom won anything is like the Dodgers playing a high school team.

Newscum setting himself up to be pushed aside by the President at this like he did to Pippi Scornstocking at the UN. President Trump has better things to do than fly to Brazil just to do that, but it would be fun to watch. If I had the time right now, I’d be doing some photoshopping.

President Trump has better things to do than fly to Brazil.
He needs to spend the next 12 months focused on domestic affairs in USA.
In the meantime, he can send Vance or Hegseth to Europe to sell weapons to NATO (to arm Ukraine) and Jared Kushner to the Middle East.

There’s been a State Department travel advisory for Brazil since May. Of course, criminals like Newscum won’t have a problem.

Trump’s shut down the border and the US is blowing up drug boats.
The democrats are running out of their drug stash.
Newscum is going down to load up!
ICE should meet his plane when it returns!
Scum will probably stop off in Venezuela and lick Maduro’s butt.

Newsom only represents the environmental loonies of California.

Just exactly what gets accomplished at these gatherings? 11 days out of the country to do what? Yak???
Bad things happen when the governor of CA and other elected officials are out of town...weren’t the Watts riots when Governor Brown was out of the COUNTRY? L.A. Mayor also out of the country when the fires destroyed a large part of the state this year.
