After a harsh failure in the last presidential election, American Democrats remained scared. Even months after Donald Trump’s win, they seem to be unable to fully understand what has gone wrong. However, it is clear that the new strategy is crucial for the successful functioning of the party.
And exactly in the midst of chaos that has been chasing Democrats for a long time, hope has emerged. However, this is not a traditional politician that many with this seemingly moderate party of the American political spectrum may be associated. No – California Governor Gavin News is almost completely out of this idea.
He decided that he would not play decently under the authoritarian government of Donald Trump. For because it is said – the wedge is discharged. And News understood exactly how to do it.
The former Twitter social network, today X, has been flooding the posts that sound like the US President himself. They are written in principle by capital, people who concern, nicknames like the school playground and have already established “Trumpisms”, such as his favorite exclamation: “Sad!”
“Donald is over – he’s no longer“ glowing ”. At first his hands (such small) and now I – Gavin C. News – we took him to “lead”, “is one of the posts.
However, they do not come from Donald Trump, but from the communication team of California Governor Gavin Newsom. He decided to fight American President and his supporters in the style of American fight fire with fireand according to Maga’s reactions (from Make America Great Again, used by Trump’s fans) it works – at least to the extent to which they outrage them.
Last week, the governor critically asked about the tone he uses online. News advocates: “If you have a problem with what I publish, you should certainly worry about what he as president publishes.” He condemned that this method of communication was normalized, but also noted that he was “satisfied with attention”.
The reason for which he fully decided to criticize the current president is one of their meetings. “It was maniacal,” he said about his course News. “You felt those authoritarian tendencies come in a way that was not so present even in the first parliamentary term.” It is these growing tendencies of Newsom that forced their rhetoric to sharpen.
Wake up, America
It is obvious that News is a very polarizing personality on the American political scene. In the light of the spotlights, there is all the more because he does not hide his ambition to stand in 2028 at the forefront of the Democratic Presidential candidate. He is referred to as a direct Trump’s opponent.
People close to the US President have long come up with the way Trump could again become president, even though the US Constitution forbids anyone president for more than two terms. Trump himself at the Last Summit at the White House with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky showed the leader of the cap with the inscription “Trump 2028”.
“Wake up, America,” he called News in response to Trump’s last steps. “Wake up to what Donald Trump is doing. Wake up to his attack. Take an attack on institutions, knowledge and history. Get to his war against science, public health, his war against the American people,” the Californian governor said.
It’s a risk but it’s worth it
Although News is now on top of his career so far, not all the governor’s attitudes are popular among his party. Recently, he has unpleasantly surprised many Democrats with his views on the trans athletes, which is a hot topic in the US, even though there are only minimum active. The Democrats have spent recent years pressure against the wave of Republican anti-transgender laws and similar rhetoric.
But now came the “betrayal” of its own ranks. “The issue of justice is completely legitimate,” he said of the presence of transth athletes News in the program “This is Gavin News”. “And we have to admit it.”
It is also open to an interview with the most passionate Trump supporters such as Podcaster Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon. He claims that he is trying to find a common language with them. However, he did not find much support among his supporters. They criticize that they give space to such people.
Many therefore ask whether the strategy of retreating the Conservative Party is worth not if he did not succeed in the elections – it would be unnecessarily relieved of his principles. However, the Californian governor is clear about this.
“I will tell the people: I put into it all. I did what I thought right. And you know what? I appreciate your opinion. I appreciate your point of view. And I pray for us all,” News said. “Because, you know, God help us if we are not successful. And I mean it. You may have enjoyed some of your last free and fair elections,” he added.
Gay weddings and criticism of deportations
In recent weeks, News has gradually become one of the main themes of the popular Republican channels such as Fox News. However, it is not just about the style of communication. News has become a thorn in the eye of the conservative spectrum long ago. Originally, as the mayor of San Francisco, in 2004, he ordered the issue of marriage licenses to couples of same -sex despite the disagreement of the then California Prosecutor General and conservatively oriented interest groups.
At the beginning of June, he also appeared in the media after protests against the raids of the immigration and customs office (Ice) began in the center of Los Angeles. Despite the fact that the protests remained peaceful, Trump has called the national guard, even though this power is legally in the hands of the governor, the Newsom. He sued Trump’s administration.
Will it help redraw out the constituencies?
Recently, the conflict between these two politicians on Thursday trumpeted Trump’s plan to change the constituencies of the Texas State. As the US is waiting for the Congress next year, the President ordered the prolongation of the circuits so that it will receive five seats that are currently seeing the Democrats.
And since Democrats controlled by California is the most populous US state in addition to the Republicans led by Texas, who is second, News decided to oppose Trump now.
This was the “Act on Response to Election Manipulations”. News, like Trump, promotes an effort to redraw the map of his state so that five Republican seats fall at the Democrats at the same time. California can compete directly with Texas, and if the Democrats get five seats more, the Texas changes completely erase. It is only a response to the situation in Texas, not a long -term effort to change the rules. Nevertheless, the support of this law is uncertain.
Schwarzenegger is also against
The constituencies in the US are usually “redistributed” every ten years after the census census, while the changes in borders should be based on these data. The aim is for the constituencies to accurately represent the people who live there. The so -called “Gerrymandering” is therefore for many controversial themes – the change of circuits can directly affect the results of the elections.
One of the great enemies of this practice is, for example, former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. In the past, he created an independent California Commission for the distribution of constituencies and the fight against the manipulation of the constituencies has set himself for one of his priorities even after the end of political life. And he was trying to convince News to change his mind in an hour’s call. Schwarzenegger, however, later published a photo of which he practices in a T -shirt with the inscription: “To the Devil with politicians: Exit manipulation with the constituencies.”
Struggle for life and death against trumpism
The repainting of the constituency is criticized by former US President Barack Obama. “We will only do this if Texas and/or other Republican states start with these maneuvers. Otherwise, it will not take effect.” Other Republican states such as Ohio, Florida, Indiana and Missouri are also beginning to consider trying to change the constituencies. However, the same situation is on the other hand, in democratic states such as Maryland and Illinois, where Obama comes from.
Democratic Californian legislators in response to the Republicans of Texas on Thursday approved a plan to redraw the congress circuits. News then signed them and is expected to announce extra elections on November 4. They will remain in the voters whether they will finally approve the newly created districts.
News relies on the approval of his reaction law will be taken by voters as a certain referendum against Trump. A similar strategy has already worked for him – in 2021 the Republicans wanted to dismiss him from the Governor’s chair. At that time, the campaign portrayed them as a struggle “for life and death” against “Trumpism” and extreme right -wing activists against vaccination and abortion. Among the Californian voters with the predominance of Democrats, this message has proved to be extremely effective.
“I think what the Governor News and the other Democrats do here is exactly what we have to do,” said Ken, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Martin.
“We will not enter the battle with the knives with a pencil. We will bring a bazucus to the fight with the knives, right? This is not the democratic party, as your grandfather knew it,” he said, adding that the Democrats should not be the only ones who play according to the rules that no longer exist.
