Richard Eskow and Sonali Kolhatkar discuss California Governor Gavin Newsom’s recent actions and their impact on his political future.

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, 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.
