The Spin

Republican narrative

Newsom's climate grandstanding is pure political theater while California burns and residents suffer sky-high energy costs. The governor jetted off to Brazil to spout lies about the benefits of green policies that have failed his own state. Trump rightly stayed home because climate conferences are money grabs designed to fleece American taxpayers for useless solar panels worldwide.

Democratic narrative

Once again California is stepping up as America's climate leader while Trump abandons global cooperation and scientific reality. Newsom's presence filled the leadership vacuum left by federal withdrawal, showcasing policies that cut emissions while growing the economy. California's proven track record and international partnerships demonstrate effective climate action works.
