On CNN, Newsom again tries to convince conservatives he’s “not that kind of Democrat”
Gov. Newsom seems to think he'll appeal to conservatives who'll forgive him for being from California, and that democrats will forgive him for being a traitor.
Appearing with CNN’s Dana Bash, California Gov. Gavin Newsom once again tried to convince voters he’s culturally “normal” if you ignore the part where he governs California. Repeating a MAGA talking point, Newsom claims Democrats spend too much time on identity politics and not worrying about the economy, but not him.
California Governor Gavin Newsom sits down with CNN’s Dana Bash to talk about the future of the Democratic Party. He says the party should be “less prone to spending disproportionate amount of time on pronouns, identity politics. More focused on tabletop issues, things that really matter — the stacking of stress in terms of the electricity bills and childcare costs and health care and obviously housing costs.”

Redistricting was a good move, but endorsing MAGA talking points, podcasting with noted conservative bigots, and claiming he’s got some deep respect for RFK Jr doesn’t set him up for either party to like him.
I said a year ago that he would run AS A REPUBLICAN for president in 2028.
As a CA resident, I believe Gavin mostly thinks about Gavin.
