California Gov. Gavin Newsom has a new podcast that has him fawning over right-wing guests. It's been slammed by Democrats, but it is a smart way to run for president?

Gavin Newsom's new podcast appears to be harming the public perception of the California governor, according to a poll. A survey of 1,000 California voters conducted by Capitol Weekly found that 26 percent said their view of Newsom worsened after hearing clips from his recent podcast interview with conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.

Gavin Newsom and Tim Walz said on the latest episode of the California governor’s podcast. After early episodes focused on far-right commentary, the fourth episode of Newsom’s podcast delved into what Democrats have done wrong and what they need to change to win elections again.
