Bessent: Gavin Newsom Is At Davos All Week With His Billionaire Sugar Daddy, Alex Soros

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent criticized California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) economic record at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday.

QUESTION: The governor calls you smug. Are you smug? TREASURY SECRETARY SCOTT BESSENT: Yeah, you know, I think it’s very, very ironic that Governor Newsom, who strikes me as Patrick Bateman meets Sparkle Beach Ken, may be the only Californian who knows less about economics than Kamala Harris. He’s here this week with his billionaire sugar daddy, Alex Soros.
