While some are wildly conspiracy theorizing that Mayor Gavin Newsom will bow out of the gubernatorial race, former POTUS Bill Clinton just gave Gav his official seal of approval. That's right, Clinton has backed Newsom's bid for the Democratic nomination for California governor. If you recall, Newsom was one of Hillary Clinton's biggest supporters during her failed presidential campaign. The Clintons, it seems, are returning the favor.
William's endorsement could be the push Newsom desperately needs to get a back in the game. As of now, "Newsom trails his rival, the former governor and California Attorney General Jerry Brown, in fundraising by about a 2-1 margin."
