Three Key Takeaways:
- Gavin Newsom is rebranding himself ahead of a potential 2028 Presidential run, distancing himself from his past extreme policies on transgender issues and positioning himself as a moderate, likely to gain Democratic support for the future election.
- Talk radio host Dana Loesch warned that Newsom’s shift is a strategic political move, using his new podcast and controversial stances to gain publicity and set himself apart from other Democratic contenders.
- Despite Newsom’s attempt to move toward the center, his far-left record as California Governor remains, and critics argue that his rebranding may not be enough to erase his past policies.
A top Democrat was ready to make his move.
He tipped his hand about his plans for the future.
And Jesse Watters got a dire warning about one Democrat’s scary plan to seize power.
Gavin Newsom rebrands himself ahead of the 2028 Election
California Governor Gavin Newsom has been eyeing a run for the White House for years.
He ran a shadow campaign for President by crisscrossing the country to help Democrats and boosting his media profile.
Former President Joe Biden temporarily dashed his Presidential ambitions when he tapped former Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor after he dropped out of the race last year.
Newsom all but declared his 2028 Presidential campaign when he announced he was launching a new podcast.
He turned heads when he announced on his first episode when he told Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk that biological men competing in women’s sports is “deeply unfair.”
Newsom became the highest-profile Democrat to claim to buck his party on transgender issues.
Polling shows that 80% of the public opposes biological men playing women’s sports.
The California Governor took the popular position on the issue with an eye toward 2028.
Jesse Watters is warned about Gavin Newsom’s rebranding
Talk radio show host Dana Loesch warned that Newsom’s podcast and reversal on transgender issues are political ploys during an appearance on Fox News’ Jesse Watters Primetime.
“There are, and I’m loath to say this, some pretty strategically savvy ones within the Democrat party,” Loesch said. “They’re lost. They’re out in the desert. They have no message, no leader, nowhere to go. They have no other way to push back against the relentless, glorious onslaught that’s coming from the Trump administration right now. So what do they do?”
Newsom supported every extreme transgender policy under the sun until he realized that it could be a political liability for his future Presidential campaign.
He supported government schools being able to transition students without their parent’s knowledge.
“They can’t go any further Left. Where is there to go further Left? I mean, you end up lapping yourself at that point. So they have to go all the way to the middle, and Gavin Newsom is how they’re floating it,” Loesch explained.
She argued that Newsom’s podcast was all about publicity for his future Presidential run.
“So he hosts this podcast where he doesn’t go on everyone else’s shows,” Loesch continued. “He brings them on his, so he establishes relevancy for himself beyond 2026 when he terms out. So he has this platform, and he’s going to use it as a marketing tool to help leverage him into the White House.”
Newsom will be out of office after the 2026 Election because of term limits.
Loesch said that Newsom was moving to the middle to get ahead of other 2028 Democrat contenders and hoped that the party would follow him.
“He’ll move to the middle. Democrats will look at him like he’s some sort of soothsayer and he’s their new Democrat messiah. They’re going to get behind him. You know, the media, they’ll carry his baggage,” Loesch stated. “People on the Left they’re very fickle. They have very short attention spans.”
Gavin Newsom can try to rebrand himself, but nothing can erase his far-left record as California Governor.
