NBC News Los Angeles affiliate KNBC-TV interviewed SPPD Senior Fellow Sherry Bebitch Jeffe in a story about former President Bill Clinton endorsing San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom for governor of California. "It does mean something, because the buzz has been that Newsom hasn't gotten traction, and he needed to get some traction," Jeffe said. "Bill Clinton will give Newsom media attention. He will allow Newsom to raise some money. Newsom hasn't been very good at that. But I'm not sure, as one pollster put it today, it upends the Democratic gubernatorial primary." The Los Angeles Wave also covered the story.
