Wanna be in politics? Wanna be president? If so, you need an origin story.
Every politician needs one. And not just any old story, but preferably a rousing narrative that shows you've faced adversity and overcome hurdles. If you can say you're an immigrant or a child of immigrants, that's a start. If you grew up in poverty or suffered discrimination, maybe that's your narrative.
Gov. Gavin Newsom, looking to the future, understands this.
