California governor raises questions with ‘This is Gavin Newsom’ podcast

President Newsom? California Governor's New Podcast Sparks 2028 Speculations, Draws Criticism
 
California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) new podcast hosting prominent supporters of President Trump is raising questions about his political strategy as he wraps up his tenure as governor and keeps the door open to a 2028 presidential run. 

The first few episodes of “This is Gavin Newsom” have found the governor seeking common ground with conservative figures like Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon. The show has also seen Newsom break with Democrats on the issue of transgender athletes in women’s sports, calling it “deeply unfair.” 
 
It all looks like a pivot toward the center by someone anticipating a White House race.

“I think he’s playing the long game here. He realizes that he’s got a lot of runway between now and the 2028 election,” said California Republican strategist Matt Klink.

Newsom is “positioning himself more as a moderate Democrat who is at least willing to listen to the thought leaders that are shaping the Republican narrative,” Klink said. That approach isn’t guaranteed to spell success with voters, but “it’s a start” at tacking toward the center.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

As I remember it, the MSM said almost exactly the same thing about Biden. :thumbsdown:

Biden actually was before he went senile. Of course, he was always corrupt. Newsom was a radical until last week.

  • The problem with everything is they try and make it better without realizing the old way is fine.

It's a trap. Don't fall for it.  The Dems need a real progressive socialist the run.  The big boobed bartender is the one you seek. 
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

A San Fancisco Bay flaming liberal governor of America's largest dumpster fire ... a real principled conservative Dem?  Riiiiight.
