From NPR.

In his new memoir, “Young Man in a Hurry,” Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom writes of his split-screen reality growing up. He was the child of a single mother, a latchkey kid who subsisted on bowls of mac and cheese. But his father was a close friend of the ultra-wealthy Getty family, and helped manage the family trust — a relationship that gave Newsom access to extravagant vacations with the Gettys, and seed money for his wine business.

“All Things Considered” caught up with Newsom in the town of Manning, S.C. during his book tour, and asked why he’s so careful to make the distinction between growing up with privilege, versus growing up around privilege — and whether that distinction matters to voters.
