The 2028 general election is still more than two years away, but on-the-fence voters may have gotten a glimpse into the Democratic playbook for that election cycle courtesy of California’s governor.

Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom — a staunchprogressiveby virtually any meaningful metric — has been on something of a media tour lately, promoting his upcoming memoirs.

Much in the same way that parts of the media blitz has hadmixed reviews, Newsom’s sit-down interview with CNN’s Dana Bash has also raised some eyebrows.

And the mainsnippet of that interviewgarnering attention had to do with Newsom’s suggestion that Democrats need to be more “culturally normal” when it comes to certain transgender issues, including sports.

“From a tactical perspective, from the prism of purely politics, there’s no doubt that the Democratic Party needs to be, dare I say, more culturally normal,” Newsome told Bash, perFox News.

He added, “I believe that — less prone to spending a disproportionate amount of time on pronouns, identity, politics, more focused on tabletop issues, things that really matter, the stacking of stress in terms of electricity bills and childcare costs and healthcare and obviously housing costs and how easily we get trapped in that, how I’ve fallen prey to that.”

Furthermore, Newsom appeared to have specific concerns about not getting “invited to a larger conversation” if the left continues to insist that men can play in women’s sports.

“But I think if you can’t hold the line on competitive sports — again, sports, there’s some nuance in this larger conversation,” Newsom said. “But competitive medal sports, if we can’t find that nuance, I think we’re going to lose a lot of people that aren’t — we’re not going to get invited to a larger conversation.

“So I do think we have to be more sensitive in that respect.”

This “culturally normal” line of thinking would make sense for a Democratic Party that was caught wholly unprepared for President Donald Trump’s “Trump is for you, Kamala is for they/them” attacks in the lead-up to the 2024 general election.
