Gavin Newsom Calls DSA 'Mainstream Democratic Movement' Heading Into 2028 Presidential Election
Townhall ^ | 10/26/2026 | Kyle Olson

Far-left insurgent group’s "energy, desire, demand for bold change" is "going to be dominant."

California Gov. Gavin Newsom gave unvarnished thoughts to an undercover journalist about the future of the Democrat Party recently, and believes the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is “going to be the dominant” force, spotlighting the fissure in the party that is only going to grow heading into the 2028 presidential election.

“I am a younger voter, and a lot of us, we want to see the Democrat Party move forward,” the person in the video obtained exclusively by Townhall said to Newsom. “You know, we don’t want Kamala Harris,” she continued, referring to the failed 2024 presidential candidate and would-be 2028 Newsom rival.

“We want, you know, more, I guess, democratic socialist policies. Where do you see the Democratic Party going?”

“No one is arguing to manage the status quo and fail more efficiently,” Newsom responded.

“So the DSA, the energy and the desire and demand for bold change, not incremental change, is very much going to be dominant. I mean, that’s going to be a mainstream democratic movement. Absolutely. No question about that,” the California governor said in the video.

“You can’t play in the margins anymore. The whole– the system’s broken. It’s completely unbalanced, and we can’t manage the decline. We have to completely reimagine.”

The exchange took place as Newsom was campaigning for New Hampshire congressional candidate Stefany Shaheen in mid-October.

A New York Times/Siena poll released Saturday shows Newsom trailing Harris among potential 2028 presidential contenders. Harris wins 12 percent, while Newsom is at 9 percent. Pete Buttigieg is at 7 percent. U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has been endorsed previously by the DSA, is at 6 percent. “Don’t know” won 45 percent.

Human nature can devoid itself of any moral compass. It can deny the existence of its Spiritual life. It can even take pride in this.

"...we want to see the Democrat Party move forward,”

The commie confuses moving forward with moving away.

The DSA will discard him when in power.

“I am a younger voter, and a lot of us, we want to see the Democrat Party move forward,”

Instead, stop looking to others (especially politicians) to make your life better and go get a life! And don’t be a parasite on others.

“Keep moving forward.”

Unless you’re headed in the wrong direction.

” If you are on the wrong road progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road and in that case the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive man.”

For once, Gavin Nuisance is telling the truth.

We’ve seen what socialists and communists can do. Best to “nip it in the bud” as Barney would say. Of course, he could only do for one.

My name is Gavin Newsom.

I can turn a paradise into a hellhole in four years.

I have experience and turn your hometown into a hellhole even faster.

Elect me as President and most of America will become a Third World dump, including some of the worst scumbags on Earth.

I believe in diversity and equal opportunity.

Remember when Gavin Newsom was a presidential hopeful and he started doing talk show tours and pod casts trying to build up his image as some kind of friendly moderate, and everyone knew it was fake?

EVERYONE KNEW IT WAS FAKE.

But if you watched or listened to the nefarious and insidiously clever communist cheerleaders in the legacy media, he was a moderate and was so electable.

“adequate opportunity” won’t change anything is always a question when it comes to counting votes amazing how many so called reasons pop up.

It’s been repeated over and over

He admits that the status quo he created is failing miserably.

‘28 will be a full-on communist assault on taking total control of the American government if they win the House and Senate in this election of ‘26. Are Americans that short on memory of the communist threat for 80 years or so? Have we fallen that far? Maybe one-third of Americans are true red, white, and blue patriots. This nation is under full communist-izzlamic assault. And to think we won the Cold War.

First true thing this horse’s arse has said in years.

If you vote Democratic party you are a communist. You hate Jews, whites, and are a racist of the worst order.
