It would seem like Governor Gavin Newsom is in limbo whether he would pursue national backing from President Joe Biden or affirm the farm workers in the state of California.

Recently, Biden has given his massive support to the Agricultural Labor Relations Voting Choice Act, a bill that has been sitting on the table of Governor Newsom for quite a while already.

Newsom has already expressed opposition to the bill, even vetoing the first version of the bill last year.

Biden Expresses Support on Newsom-Vetoed Agriculture Labor Voting Bill

Governor Gavin Newsom has expressed his opposition to the landmark legislation for the farm workers in the state of California. However, the bill he has since pushed back last year has received another formidable supporter - President Joe Biden.

The Agricultural Labor Relations Voting Choice Act will allow farmworkers to vote by mail in the upcoming union elections as it would make the voting process easier for them and less intimidating for them to unionize.

Newsom vetoed an earlier version of the bill last year. For the incumbent governor of California, he cited technical reasons for his veto, The Sacramento Bee reports.

"Significant changes to California's well-defined agricultural labor laws must be carefully crafted to ensure that both agricultural workers' intent to be represented and the right to collectively bargain is protected, and the state can faithfully enforce those fundamental rights," Newsom stated.

President Joe Biden, in a Labor Day Weekend speech, expressed his utmost support for the bill, similar to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Vice President Kamala Harris.

"In the state with the largest population of farmworkers, the least we owe them is an easier path to make a free and fair choice to organize a union," the President said.

With this unusual national backing for a state legislative effort, Governor Gavin Newsom is at the crossroads if he would veto the bill again or heed the loud support from the Big 3.

Apparently, Newsom is "privately seething" over Biden's very public and strong endorsement of the Agri-Voting Bill, Politico learned from several sources close to the California government.

Experts are already waiting for Newsom's next move as the ball is already in his court.

"Joe Biden just made Gavin Newsom's life a whole lot more complicated. It's not unheard of for a president to weigh in on state legislation. But it's relatively rare to put the squeeze on a governor of your own party like this," UC Berkeley political communications professor Dan Schnur said.

Meanwhile, in California, Gavin Newsom's popularity has grown as residents are favoring the incumbent governor over President Joe Biden in the upcoming 2024 presidential elections.
