Governor Newsom signs bill on presidential tax returns [View all]

California's governor has signed a law requiring presidential candidates to release their tax returns before they can be listed on the state's primary ballot.

The measure signed Tuesday by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom is aimed at Republican President Donald Trump, who has refused to release his tax returns.

The law will likely face legal action and Trump could avoid the requirement by deciding not to compete in California's primary. The major 2020 Democratic candidates have already released their tax returns.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
