Newsom signed legislation in June to "protect those in California from civil liability for providing, aiding or receiving abortion care in the state," a statement from the governor's office said. 

Many who applauded Newsom's performance praised his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. The California governor was the first to impose a statewide lockdown in March 2020 and enacted some of the nation's strictest COVID-19 measures.

"I thought he did a great job during the pandemic," one San Francisco local told Fox News. 

Another man who gave the governor a B told Fox News: "I think early on in the pandemic, he was definitely on top of everything."

But, the San Francisco man still felt Newsom had room to improve.

"I think these days there's still a lot of crisis out there, it's not to say he's done a terrible job, but there are wildfires and other shortcomings," he said. 

California has recently seen extreme heat waves, with some cities reaching record highs last week, according to the National Weather Service.
