Welcome to another edition of FT Now! In California, not everyone is impressed with Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom’s approach to the homeless crisis. South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem hit back at ex-New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s disparaging comments about our nation’s farmers. Speaking of Bloomberg, he took his fair share of whacks during Wednesday night’s debate in Las Vegas. He may have left the debate still standing, but definitely worse for wear. Read more below!

| Nonpartisan Analysts: Newsom’s Proposal To Address California’s Homeless Crisis Won’t Have "Meaningful Impact" |
| What Happened: |
| New analysis shows that Governor Gavin Newson isn’t doing much to fix California’s homelessness crisis - no matter what he says. |
| Why You Should Care: |
| While Edwards was running for re-election, he promised teachers a pay raise. But now that’s he’s won his second term, it looks like he’s abandoned that promise - leaving teachers in the state feeling "shocked" and "floored". It’s almost as if Edwards just said whatever he had to to get re-elected. |
| What Happens Next: |
| Newsom says addressing the crisis is a top priority for 2020, but all signs point to him doubling down on his failed policies. |

| South Dakota Governor: "Who Does [Bloomberg] Think He Is" To Question The Intelligence of Farmers? |
| What Happened: |
| Video surfaced this week of Democrat presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg disparaging farmers, saying (among other things) that they don’t have the "gray matter" to adjust to the information age. South Dakota GOP Gov. Kristi Noem fought back. |
| Why You Should Care: |
| In the words of Gov. Noem, "That comment is nothing but pompous ignorance" - pretty much what we’ve all come to expect from the Democratic presidential primary field. |
| What Happens Next: |
| Expect much more to come out about Bloomberg and his out-of-touch, elitist...tendencies. |

| "Mini Mike" Savaged by Democratic Rivals in Nevada |
| What Happened: |
| Democratic presidential primary candidates gathered in Las Vegas for one final debate before the Nevada caucus this weekend. It’s safe to say everyone’s knives were pointed at debate newcomer Michael Bloomberg. |
| Why You Should Care: |
| Bloomberg has been spending millions on advertising, catapulting him near the top of recent polls - which probably explains why every single other candidate came ready with their attacks. Unfortunately for him, Bloomberg seemed to fold under the pressure. |
| What Happens Next: |
| The Nevada Caucus takes place this Saturday. After that, it’s on to South Carolina! |
