California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized the Democratic Party's current state, asserting that their brand is toxic and that they need to engage with Republicans to improve their standing. During an appearance on Bill Maher's show, he emphasized the importance of dialogue and common ground over divisiveness, citing low approval ratings of just 27% for the party. Newsom launched a podcast to facilitate these discussions, advocating for a more open-minded approach within the party, specifically regarding issues like cancel culture and inclusivity in sports, contrasting with other Democratic viewpoints that emphasize a focus on 'woke' politics.
The Democratic brand is toxic right now," the Democrat leader told Bill Maher on Friday, citing the party's dismal approval ratings.
It's important Democrats - we tend to be a little bit more judgmental than we should be," he said, adding the party should "own up" to their support of cancel culture.
