During a recent podcast with Steve Bannon, California Governor Gavin Newsom surprised CNN anchor Dana Bash by not challenging Bannon's claim that the 2020 election was stolen. Bash expressed astonishment at Newsom's lack of pushback, considering Bannon's comments were rooted in election denialism. Alvarez added context by mentioning other contentious topics in Newsom's recent interactions, highlighting a pattern of him engaging with controversial figures and issues. The conversation underscored the shifting dynamics within Democratic leadership as they navigate interactions with right-wing sentiments.
Bash noted, when Steve Bannon states the 2020 election was stolen, the Democratic governor of California doesn’t correct him, which she found surprising.
Newsom remarked on the importance of agency in determining fate and future, emphasizing that it's decisions, not conditions, that lead to change.
