Newsom Draws Liberal Ire for Being Moderate in Podcast
California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom infamously dodged a recall election, dined out at a fancy restaurant during mass COVID-19 lockdowns, and pivoted from massive deadly wildfire mismanagement.
He is now running a podcast where he invites staunch conservatives for debate.
All of which has Democrats seeing red.
Steve Bannon, Charlie Kirk, and Newsmax host Michael Savage all sat down with Newsom recently, as the embattled Democrat governor tries to remake himself as a moderate Democrat all to grease the wheels for the 2028 Democrat presidential primary, experts say.
Even The Washington Post admits appealing to Trump's base – even if it is just giving them a platform for debate – is popular, noting talking with conservatives is good for the podcast business.
