“Newsomania” – Can Governor Gavin undo the Age of Trump?

Who is Gavin Newsom and what does he want? Does the California Governor have the right stuff to put the Democrats back in power and wrest America back from its ruinous MAGA direction? Or is he a bit too slick and slippery to fulfil the hopes of beleaguered progressives? The Independent’s Washington Correspondent Eric Garcia talks to Dorian Lynskey about “Newsomania”, the Governor’s merciless social media game and chequered history, and the contradictions of a man who grew up poor yet who numbered the Gettys among his family friends. “He’s one of the most politically acrobatic figures I’ve ever seen… and it makes people ask, does this guy have any real beliefs?” www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Dorian Lynskey.
