Gavin Newsom, the California governor, has stirred controversy by inviting several rightwing figures, including Steve Bannon, onto his podcast, This Is Gavin Newsom. While aiming to reposition himself for a possible 2028 presidential run, many perceive this approach as bizarre and misguided. Critics argue that by engaging with individuals notorious for spreading misinformation and divisive rhetoric, Newsom elevates fringe views, potentially alienating more progressive constituents. The choices of his guests spark discussions about authenticity, strategy, and the future direction of the Democratic Party amidst a polarized political landscape.
If you had to name the five people most responsible for Trump's still-shocking rise to power, Bannon's name would belong on that list.
For some, it boggles the mind. I know what Steve Bannon got out of that interview his fringe views were elevated and validated.
It's understandable that he would want to reposition himself as he looks ahead to a possible 2028 presidential run.
But the way he's going about it is bizarre and deeply misguided.
