Where In The World Is Gavin Newsom? – The Federalist

Posted: November 9, 2021 at 2:23 pm

California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom hasnt appeared in public since Oct. 27, when the governor received a coronavirus booster shot nearly two weeks ago.

Two days later, Newsom canceled his trip to the COP26 global summit on climate change in Scotland. After the announcement said Newsom would participate virtually, the governor was left off the California delegations schedule entirely, and replaced by Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis in his stead, according to the Associated Press. The only statement from the governors office explained the sudden absence as a consequence of unspecified family obligations.

On Sunday, California First Lady Jennifer Siebel Newsom defended her husbands break from public view in a since-deleted tweet. The tweet was screenshotted by Sacramento Bee politics reporter Sophia Bollag reposted to Twitter.

Its funny how certain folks cant handle truth, the first lady wrote. When someone cancels something, maybe theyre just in the office working; maybe in their free time theyre at home with their family, at their kids sports matches, or dining out with their wife. Please stop hating and get a life.

While week-long absences are not uncommon among high-profile public-facing figures, they are usually explained. Newsoms office however, has kept the public in the dark on the circumstances of Newsoms whereabouts despite media inquiries, including from the Associated Press. Newsoms office did not immediately respond to The Federalists request for comment.

In 2009, former South Carolina Republican Gov. Mark Sanford went missing in South America with an Argentine mistress while his office claimed the governor was hiking the Appalachian Trail. A decade later, President Donald Trump awarded Sanford the nickname Mr. Appalachian Trail as the former governor and House member challenged the incumbent president in a short-lived primary.

In the summer of 2018, CNNs Brian Stelter ran a CNN discussion on then-First Lady Melania Trumps whereabouts after she receded from the public spotlight.

While Stelters visual alleged the first lady had not been between May 10 and June 3, she was spotted in the West Wing by a CNBC reporter on May 29th.
