California governor Gavin Newsom spoke to a group of voters in Atlanta, Georgia, during an event promoting his memoir Young Man in a Hurry, where he discussed his own educational challenges. He addressed Black voters directly, saying he shared struggles similar to theirs.
During the conversation with Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, Newsom said he had scored 960 on the SAT, a standardized college entrance test. He also mentioned that he struggles with reading, adding, “You’ve never seen me read a speech because I cannot read a speech.”
