Hey folks,
I went live with my new friend Frederic Poag, and we got deep into the Gavin Newsom social media strategy, the soul of the Democratic Party, and what it really takes to win in 2028.
04:01 - The origin story: how I accidentally became president of the College Democrats and why it shaped my political DNA.
10:58 - We break down Gavin Newsom’s social strategy and why it works for him — but why it could be poison for anyone else.
14:28 - A billion views in a week? Here’s what that actually means for Newsom, and why I'm not convinced he should be the nominee.
21:02 - Wrestling, the Savannah Bananas, and the WWE-ification of our politics: how entertainment culture is warping campaigns.
30:22 - What I’m really looking for in a 2028 candidate—and the one emotional test every contender has to pass.
