When Gavin Newsom popped up on computer screens Thursday to inform 40 million Californians they’d soon be subject to yet more coronavirus restrictions, he grappled with a new challenge: Has the governor lost his credibility right when he needs it most?

With California’s hospitals at risk of overflowing, the governor must convince pandemic-weary residents to listen to a leader who was recently caught attending a crowded dinner at one of the state’s swankiest restaurants, undermining the stay-home message he’s been touting for months.
