Episode Details

Gavin Newsom is hitting Michigan this week to rally behind Democratic candidates, including Jocelyn Benson and Eli Savit, while signaling his growing national political ambitions. His recent $154K donation to the Michigan Democratic Party and whirlwind tour of swing states hint at a possible 2028 presidential run. Meanwhile, Abdul El-Sayed’s razor-thin Senate primary win—by less than one percent—has progressives buzzing, seen as a warning shot to the party establishment. Though Newsom hasn’t confirmed a meeting with El-Sayed, he publicly endorsed him after victory. With Michigan’s Senate race now pivotal for Democrats’ control of Congress, Newsom is doubling down on grassroots outreach in Detroit, connecting with labor, students, and faith leaders—all while navigating his own evolution from moderate to progressive force.
