Gov Gavin Newsom Struggles To Stay In Control As California Goes Dark, Wildfires Spread, And Gas Prices Spike

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom is warning citizens that they could be in for a long weekend as the state's public utility announced Saturday plans to shut down huge sections of the electric grid.

The Pacific Gas and Electric Company's move could black out an estimated 940,000 homes and businesses in parts of more than 30 counties up and down California.

Newsom, who is under pressure as gas prices increase, told Californians things are going to be tough for the next few days.

Newsom started to circulate blame for many of the problems Californians are facing, including the blackouts and rising gas prices.

Newsom also leaned in on oil companies as the state faces staggering gas prices.

The Democratic governor asked his attorney general Oct. 23 to investigate oil companies for conspiring to keep gas prices artificially high.

Newsom based his request on a report suggesting California drivers are paying $1 more per gallon of gasoline than the rest of the country, according to The Associated Press.
