Richard Eskow and Sonali Kolhatkar discuss California Governor Gavin Newsom’s recent actions and their impact on his political future.
By The Zero Hour
California Governor and presumed presidential candidate Gavin Newsom presides over roughly 1/5th of the entire USA—and still apparently has time to do a podcast. Newsom is yet one more Democrat who seems to think their party has a “branding” problem, rather than a “doing” problem. He also seems to think they can win by platforming and mainstreaming extremism. Zero Hour Senior Correspondent Sonali Kolhatkar has thoughts …

Newsom, once seen as a rising star in the Democratic Party, has faced criticism for platforming white supremacists like Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon. Kolhatkar compares Newsom to a “pick me Democrat,” emphasizing the need for substantive policy over superficial branding. They contrast Newsom’s approach with Bernie Sanders’ consistent advocacy for progressive policies.
