California Gov. Gavin News<\/a>om (D) has postponed his State of the State address, the governor\u2019s office confirmed to The Hill Friday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n Newsom\u2019s address was originally scheduled to be delivered on Monday. A new date for the speech has not been provided.<\/p>\n His office is coordinating with the legislature to nail a new date for the governor\u2019s address, per an email to The Hill.\u00a0<\/p>\n The postponement of the address comes as his push to overhaul how California treats disorders related to mental health is still active, even with Proposition 1 having a slim lead.\u00a0Newsom is making a last-minute effort to correct rejected ballots, notes Politico<\/a>. <\/p>\n \u201cThis ballot initiative is SO CLOSE that your commitment to volunteer could mean the difference between people getting off the streets and into the treatment they need\u2026 or not,\u201d reads a Friday email from Campaign for Democracy, Newsom\u2019s federal PAC, obtained by Politico. \u201cTruly. It is that close.\u201d<\/p>\n Newsom, a two-term leader of the state, is facing another recall, after defeating a 2021 attempt. He also has to wrangle with a record $68 billion budget deficit, which has made buying goods in the state and hiring workers by businesses harder.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Copyright 2024 Nexstar Media<\/a> Inc.
