California’s state Republican Party is warning that a new move by Gov. Gavin Newsom to ultimately ban the sale of new gas-powered vehicles by 2035 could lead to more than 350,000 job losses.
“Governor Gavin Newsom’s failure to lead California was on full display today as he talked about eliminating over 350,000 good-paying jobs in our oil and gas industry, while ignoring the millions of already unemployed Californians and the tens of thousands of shuttered businesses,” Chairwoman Jessica Millan Patterson said in a statement.
The state GOP’s stance was shared by the White House.
“President Trump won’t stand for it,” White House spokesman Judd Deere said.
