Newsom PAC bought thousands of memoir copies about his hardships, juicing sales

California Governor Gavin Newsom's political action committee spent over $1.5 million to purchase 67,000 copies of his memoir 'Young Man in a Hurry,' accounting for two-thirds of total sales and boosting its New York Times bestseller ranking. The Campaign for Democracy Committee's campaign faced scrutiny for influencing sales, with critics alleging Newsom prioritizes national image-building over local issues.
