California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Sunday said the nearly $54 billion budget deficit the state is facing is a direct result of the impact from the coronavirus pandemic and not because of existing financial troubles.
Asked by Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union” how much of the state’s financial crisis is a result of pre-exisiting financial obligations, Newsom said, “None.”
