Senior Sacramento Reporter Oct. 14, 2026 11:27 AM PT SACRAMENTO — California Gov. Gavin Newsom is headed to New Hampshire this weekend to campaign for Democratic candidates in the November election, a continuation of his reconnaissance tour through swing states in preparation for a possible 2028 presidential run. The trip follows voyages to other early primary voting states, including South Carolina in September and Nevada in July, that could be critical to his campaign if he officially joins the race. “I think if your travel calendar aligns with the Democratic Party’s primary calendar, you’re probably running for president,” said Thad Kousser, a professor of political science at UC San Diego. It’s still too early for Newsom, or any other would-be presidential contender, to declare their candidacy, Kousser said, but the governor’s movements are typical of a politician who is “all in.”“This is the clearest signal to voters, to donors, and to the chattering class that you’re willing to put in the hard yards, the years of on-the-ground campaigning, that it takes to do well in one of these primaries or caucuses,” he said. Newsom isn’t alone.

Could Democrats really lose the New Hampshire Senate race?
Part of the panic on the left is that New Hampshire Democrats seem to be running an old — and failed — playbook. Analysts and Democratic politicians themselves have repeatedly said that running against Trump, and not for anything in particular, was the great sin of the 2024 election. And in the years since, we’ve seen unlikely candidates succeed because they took that message to heart and ran on platforms that outlined a clear vision for what they would do if elected. The best example is Zohran Mamdani, who won the New York mayoral race in 2025 on the strength of a bold platform that offered remedies to voters’ everyday concerns: freeze the damn rent, raise the minimum wage, make buses fast and free. And this year, in close Senate races in Michigan and Maine, the Democratic candidates are running on unapologetically progressive platforms with ambitious agendas. But New Hampshire is not New York City, nor is it Maine or Michigan. And in this race, the Democrat is choosing to go in the other direction.
Flock camera opponents say they were left out of state-led policy review
Before McKee ordered the pause, four Rhode Island communities — South Kingstown, Narragansett, Glocester, North Kingstown — voted to cancel their Flock contracts.

A coral that survives R.I. winters offers clues to saving reefs worldwide
“Healthy reefs are home to a lot of biodiversity, a lot of species that we don’t yet fully understand, and potentially a lot of compounds — chemicals that could prove to be enormously useful for medical applications or other applications in the future,” he said. “That is something we can’t quantify very well because we haven’t completely explored all of those possibilities yet. But if reefs were to die, and those species and those ecosystems disappeared, then we would have lost the opportunity to potentially learn of that value and make use of it in the future.”Get Rhode MapA weekday briefing from veteran Rhode Island reporters, focused on the things that matter most in the Ocean State.
