Gavin Newsom’s sticking with the podcast formula that drove Democrats crazy

Newsom's decision to stick with his podcast format, despite intra-party criticism, highlights a broader struggle within the Democratic Party regarding free speech and ideological diversity. By addressing the backlash openly, he positions himself as a figure willing to challenge prevailing norms, which could resonate with a more moderate or diverse audience. However, this approach may also alienate more progressive constituents who prioritize ideological purity over open dialogue.
