California Gov. #GavinNewsom said the point of his new podcast is not to “go viral” or “own the conservatives” by winning any debates. Instead, the Democratic politician said his new podcast is about “exploring” what Republicans think — and why their message resonated with more voters during the 2024 election. “It’s just exploring the other side. Why are they kicking our ass?” Newsom said in an interview with Semafor out Sunday. “Why are these guys so successful? They are. I mean, I’m sorry, Democrats, they are.” Newsom launched his podcast, aptly dubbed “This Is Gavin Newsom,” earlier this month. So far, he has had several conservative guests on, including #SteveBannon and commentator #CharlieKirk. The host told the outlet his goal is merely to talk to the other side of the political aisle with his new show. 🔗 link in bio for more on this story.
