Cox also noted that political experts were wrong about their predictions about the primary election.
“Well, it’s kind of funny because most of the experts had predicted all the way up until the election night that it was going to be two Democrats in the top two,” he said.
However, Cox performed well during the primary and finished second with 25 percent of the vote. Newsom received 34 percent of the votes.
Cox Hopes People Will See that His Personality is Different from Trump
President Donald Trump endorsed Cox before the primary election. Many believed that the endorsement helped.
“As my opponent in the primary pointed out, I didn’t vote for the president,” Cox said. “I’ve never met him or talked to him, but he endorsed me and I welcomed it.”
Cox thinks Trump endorsed him because he is a fellow businessman. However, he made his clear that his personality is different from the president’s.
“I hope people see that,” Cox said. “And that’s fine. He is who he is, and I am who I am, and people can make their own judgments. But I tell you, at the end of the day, it’s about delivering results for people.”
