Description

Days after returning from a trip to New York, Gov. Gavin Newsom is expected to head to Texas. Newsom is scheduled to speak at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin on Saturday afternoon. A "One-on-One with Gavin Newsom" is the title of his event at 3:30 p.m. central time, according to the festival’s program. MSNBC’s Alex Wagner will moderate the discussion. "The California governor on what the nation’s most populous state can teach the other 49—including this one," the event description reads. The festival, which started Thursday and ends Saturday, features dozens of high-profile speakers, including Democratic and Republican lawmakers from across the country, journalists, and former NBA star Chris Bosh. A spokesperson for the governor said his appearance in Texas is a campaign event, not state business.
