Gavin Newsom: “Top four states that were donor states, all blue states.”

“Texas received $71.1 billion more than they provided the federal government. So I'll just remind you that California as a donor state, the balance of the books provided $83.1 billion. Texas took $71.1 billion. Top four states that were donor states, all blue states. Interesting fact. So when it comes to federal support, we would expect to be treated fairly. And I say this as a donor state that doesn't even get back all of the money that we provide the federal government.” (39:23–39:26)
