‘New Democrat Messiah’: Dana Loesch Warns Republicans To See ‘Danger’ In Newsom’s Rebrand Ahead Of 2028

Conservative radio host Dana Loesch warned Republicans Thursday evening on Fox News about the “danger” in Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s rebrand ahead of the 2028 presidential elections.

The Democrat governor announced on Feb. 26 the launch of his new podcast, “This is Gavin Newsom,” which would feature conversations with ‘some of the biggest leaders and architects in the MAGA movement’ in order to foster engagement between the parties. In the podcast’s first episode, released Thursday, Newsom made headlines after telling Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk that biological men competing in women’s sports is “deeply unfair.”

On “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Fox host Jesse Watters asked Loesch about the governor’s new stance, asking about the timing of Newsom’s comment on men competing in women’s sports.

“It’s almost like he turns out in 2026, and then he’s got a general election he’s got an eye on in 2028. It’s so weird that it’s going this way for Gavin Newsom,” Loesch said. “I’m so glad that you have your finger on the pulse of this and you’re talking about it because I actually think this is a danger for Republicans, this whole, I think all of it, is setting him up.”

“Sometimes I wonder if Democrats weeping and gnashing of teeth isn’t performative for a reason. Like they may be kind of goofy most of the time, right? But there are, and I’m loath to say this, some pretty strategically savvy ones within the Democrat party,” Loesch added. “They’re lost. They’re out in the desert. They have no message, no leader, nowhere to go. They have no other way to push back against the relentless, glorious onslaught that’s coming from the Trump administration right now. So what do they do?”
