Gavin Newsom takes his book tour to Miami — his 5th known trip this year
Share this @internewscast.com

California Governor Gavin Newsom is back on the road, this time making a stop in Florida as part of his much-talked-about book tour. This marks what appears to be his fifth out-of-state trip this year, according to various accounts.

On Friday, Newsom landed in Miami, where he participated in a $65-per-ticket event at the Adrienne Arsht Center. The occasion was to promote his memoir, “Young Man in a Hurry.” During the event, he engaged in a conversation with Univision anchor Jorge Ramos and his daughter Paola Ramos, discussing what he describes as a “deeply resilient story of identity, belonging, and the pivotal moments that have shaped his political career.”

The last time Newsom made headlines in Florida was in 2022 when he launched an ad campaign encouraging Floridians discontented with Republican Governor Ron DeSantis to consider moving to California.

“I encourage those of you in Florida to join the fight,” Newsom declared in the ad. “Or come to California, where we still uphold the values of freedom.”

This Miami visit adds another stop to Newsom’s busy travel agenda this year, as he continues to raise his profile with a potential presidential bid on the horizon.

While the governor’s office hasn’t disclosed the exact number of days he’s spent outside California in 2026, estimates suggest he has been away for at least two weeks or more. This includes travel time for two extensive trips to Europe and three segments of his book tour.

“The Governor’s travel includes official state business, meetings advancing California’s economic and job-creating climate partnerships, political and personal activity conducted in his personal capacity,” said Newsom’s spokesperson Izzy Gardon.

“In contrast to Donald Trump — who has spent 4.1% of his presidency golfing — when the Governor is away from the Capitol, he is in constant contact with his team and continues to work wherever he is with secure communications to fulfill his duties.” 

A widely-publicized trip to Davos — where he trolled President Trump and scolded world leaders for cowing to the White House — that took him away from his day job for four or five days, including travel time for the more than 11-hour trek, between Jan. 19 and Jan. 23.

Weeks later he embarked on another long-haul jaunt to Germany for the Munich Security Conference, where appeared on a Feb. 13 climate panel and claimed credit for “manufacturing innovation” in America — again stoking talk of his widely expected presidential bid.

He rounded out the trip by signing a memorandum of understanding on Feb. 16 in London with the United Kingdom related to clean energy before making the 5,300-mile journey back to California.

His book tour has not-so-subtly taken him through key Democratic primary states, including South Carolina, New Hampshire and Nevada.

He kicked off a roughly four-day promotional jaunt with a Feb. 21 stop in Nashville, Tenn., followed by appearances in Atlanta, Ga., Rock Hill., S.C., and New York.

Earlier this month, he hit up Las Vegas, Nev. and Portsmouth, N.H. for book events on March 4 and March 5, respectively. He also reportedly made a stop in Boulder City, Nev. for a private event at the home of Democratic Party activist Judy Hoskins.

The governor is offering free copies of his book with ticket purchases at his events — and his team claims the tome has sold some 100,000 copies, topping bestseller lists.

He’s also foisted copies of the book onto campaign donors “of any amount” as he burnishes his national profile through his political action committee, Campaign for Democracy.

The governor has rebuffed questions about his presidential aspirations, telling The Post at a press conference last month that it was “too early” to say.
