Steve Hilton mocks Newsom's brief rebranding: 'He didn't do anything'

California gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton blasted Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) for avoiding any change to any of the “moderate” views he proposed on his podcast.

Hilton announced his campaign as the second Republican candidate in April, two months after Newsom launched This is Gavin Newsom. The podcast has hosted MAGA leaders such as Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon. Across various episodes, Newsom came out against transgender athletes in women’s sports, calling it “deeply unfair,” and described the anti-police protests of 2020 as “lunacy.”
