Stunning Photos Surface Refuting Newsom’s ‘Everyman’ Claims

As President Donald Trump put a snarky post on Truth Social, “Wow! Gavin Newscum just dropped out of the Presidential Race!!!”

The criticism spread rapidly across social media, with conservative commentators mocking the remarks and questioning Newsom’s political judgment as he is widely viewed as a potential 2028 Democratic presidential contender.

According to 2024 data from the College Board, the average SAT score for Black or African American test takers — who make up roughly 12% of participants — is 907 out of 1600. White test takers averaged 1083.

Newsom, 58, is a 1989 graduate of Santa Clara University. He has written in his memoir that he struggled academically and has spoken openly about dyslexia. He previously told The New York Times that he believes he was admitted to Santa Clara in part due to a partial baseball scholarship, downplaying the significance of a recommendation letter from former California Gov. Jerry Brown, who had appointed Newsom’s father to a state appellate judgeship.

“I don’t think it’s relevant at all,” Newsom said earlier this month regarding the Brown letter. “The ticket to Santa Clara came through the baseball, not anything else.”
