Trump-Backing California Sheriff to Launch GOP Governor Bid Amid California's Shift to Red

A tough-on-crime Republican sheriff from southern California, who supported President Trump in last year's election, is set to launch a campaign for Golden State governor to succeed Newsom. The source confirms that the sheriff, a longtime supporter of the president, will run in the upcoming election. This development marks an interesting shift in California's politics as the party has traditionally been dominated by Democrats. The race for governor is expected to be highly competitive, with the winner taking over from incumbent Governor Gavin Newsom.
