Brian Dahle (R-Bieber), whom he tried to cast as a pawn of \u201cbig oil.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Dahle irked Newsom by suggesting that the governor was already campaigning for president, and the moderators noted that Newsom was running ads for himself in Texas and Florida, where Republican governors are facing reelection.<\/p>\n<p class=\"a8d-pre\">Many have speculated that Newsom intends to run for president in the event that President Joe Biden, who is nearly 80, decides not to run again.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Asked directly whether he intended to serve all four years \u2014 i.e. through 2026, bypassing the 2024 presidential election \u2014 Newsom said: \u201cI\u2019ve barely been out of state. I\u2019ve been out of state for a few hours, to take on his party \u2014 and the leader of his party, Donald Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Newsom\u2019s claim to have been out of the state for only a \u201cfew hours\u201d was false. Earlier this year, he traveled to Montana for a family vacation, defying California\u2019s ban on state-funded travel to Montana and other states that have enacted laws to protect women\u2019s sports from transgender male-to-female competitors. Newsom <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/07\/06\/gavin-newsom-vacations-in-montana-despite-californias-travel-ban\/\">claimed<\/a> that the trip was personal and not state-funded, but he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/07\/08\/newsom-spox-admits-state-paid-for-security-in-travel-to-banned-montana\/\">traveled<\/a> with state-funded security.<\/p>\n<p>In attacking Dahle over energy policy, Newsom also falsely claimed that consumers in Texas, Florida, and Indiana pay higher electricity bills than consumers in California do.<\/p>\n<p class=\"a8d-pre\">In fact, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saveonenergy.com\/resources\/electricity-bills-by-state\/\">saveonenergy.com<\/a>, Texas and Florida consumers pay half of what California consumers do per kilowatt-hour, though the average monthly bill is four cents higher in Texas and six dollars higher in Florida due to greater usage.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>In Indiana, the cost of electricity is about 12 cents cheaper per kilowatt-hour, and the average monthly bill is about $12 lower, than in California.<\/p>\n<p>When Newsom accused Dahle of \u201cdoubling down on stupid\u201d by backing fossil fuels, Dahle countered that \u201cstupid\u201d meant forcing consumers to buy electric vehicles, and then telling them not to charge those vehicles during electricity shortages.<\/p>\n<p>Dahle also claimed that Newsom was focusing on national issues because he could not run on his record in California.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"video-src-attr\">C-SPAN<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe policies that this governor put forth don\u2019t work in California \u2026 I know the governor talks about all this national stuff, he wants to talk about a president [Trump] that\u2019s not even in office, he wants to talk about our party. He wasn\u2019t to talk about everything but the facts of what I see and hear every day on the street. California is suffering because of your policies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Later, Newsom struggled to explain why he sends his children to a private school, while claiming credit for improving public schools.<\/p>\n<p><em>Joel B.
