The Democratic governor of California, Gavin Newsom, has faced during his first term of office the pandemic of the covid-19, which has claimed the lives of more than 65,400 Californians.
His mandate has been defined by his response to the serious event, full of contradictions. Newsom issued the first state order urging residents to stay home, thus preventing most public school students from attending classes.
