California Gov. Gavin Newsom briskly scheduled a livestreamed appearance after a day of inquisitive reporting on his whereabouts.
His office released a media advisory late Monday to say Newsom, who has not had a public appearance since canceling his visit to a United Nations climate summit last month, will speak at the California Economic Summit at approximately 11:45 a.m. local time.

Newsom’s last public appearance was on Oct. 27, when he received a COVID-19 booster shot. He abruptly canceled a visit to Glasgow, Scotland, on Oct. 29, which his office said was due to “family obligations.”

The governor’s wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, tweeted a now-deleted message on Sunday that said, “It’s funny how certain folks can’t handle truth. When someone cancels something, maybe they’re just in the office working; maybe in their free time they’re at home with their family, at their kids’ sports matches, or dining out with their wife. Please stop hating and get a life.”
With speculation swirling on Monday and reporting that Newsom attended the wedding of a billionaire oil heiress in San Francisco over the weekend, the governor’s press secretary, Daniel Lopez, told SFGate that Newsom worked in the state Capitol last week and this week would have unspecified public events related to the economy and vaccines.
