US EditionDan Walters: California’s Most Glaring Issues Have Little to Do with Trump
California’s persistent issues include a 5.5% unemployment rate and worsening homelessness, driven by long-term structural problems rather than federal policies, officials say.
- Amid intense media attention, long-standing issues in California receive less scrutiny as coverage of Trump Derangement Syndrome distracts from problems predating President Donald Trump.
- Since his 2018 election, several core problems have stagnated or worsened, and the California economy has not fully recovered from the 2020 shutdown ordered by Governor Gavin Newsom.
- A recent Legislative Analyst's Office report found the California labor force grew by 17k while employed workers fell by 7k and unemployed workers increased 24k, with more than a million unemployed and a 5.5% jobless rate.

- Federal actions such as immigration sweeps and talk of a shutdown figure prominently, with clashes between Gavin Newsom and President Donald Trump shaping discourse alongside Proposition 50 on the November 4 ballot.
