California governor Gavin Newsom had a full-blown meltdown Tuesday during an interview with CBS. The doomed Democrat was forced to admit that his party is getting ‘crushed’ by the red wave. He slammed members of his party for being a bunch of do-nothings.
“We’re getting crushed on narrative,” Newsom told CBS as he campaigns for Democrats across his state in races tighter than expected, adding that the midterms feel like a red wave.
“We’re going to have to do better, in terms of getting on the offense, and stop being on the damn defense,” the governor said.
In a weird twist, Newsom happens to be one of the only Democrats who actually want to see a 2024 Biden run. The brown-noser called the Biden administration a ‘masterclass’ in leadership besides the lack of ‘effective communication’—Which sounded a lot like a back-handed compliment.
“I don’t think there’s been two years of more effective policy-making of a modern American president,” Newsom said. “It’s been a masterclass the last two years, not necessarily in effective communication and generating narrative, but in terms of the substance under the circumstance, with all the headwinds, the obfuscation and opposition. I think it’s been remarkable.”
“Look, I can be the cheerleader. I’m also pragmatic,” he said. “You feel it. It’s not just intellectualization based on polling.”
“You feel it,” he continued. “And it goes to my fundamental grievance with my damn party. We’re getting crushed on narrative. We’re going to have to do better in terms of getting on the offense and stop being on the damn defense.”

Newsom has no room to talk. Until recent days, Newsom was accused of ignoring his own reelection campaign. Most believed that it was because Newsom planned a 2024 run. The sudden change makes me think that something behind the scenes changed which caused the Democrats to change direction.
This year he’s running against Brian Dahle, a real rural Californian farmer, and Senator. Dahle has done an amazing job mobilizing California voters while Newsom has sat on his hands.
