California Governor Gavin Newsom attempted to connect with an audience at a Georgia book tour stop by sharing his own low SAT score of 960, stating 'I am like you'. The move was seen as an effort to humanize himself and show that he, too, faced challenges in school. However, some critics argued that downplaying his academic performance may not be the most effective way to build credibility with voters. Newsom's attempt at self-deprecation fell flat with many, who saw it as a weak attempt to appear relatable.
