California Governor Gavin Newsom has disappeared from public view for 10 days and abruptly canceled plans to attend the COP26 climate summit in Scotland over unexplained 'family obligations.' Newsom was last seen in public on October 27, receiving a COVID-19 booster shot in Oakland. The statement claimed that Newsom would attend the summit virtually, though he still has not made a video appearance. Democratic state Sen. Bob Hertzberg, who also attended the conference, said he suspected Newsom was very disappointed to not be going. Newsom spokesperson Erin Mellon said the governor will appear virtually at the U.N. climate conference, which ends on November 12, next week.
