TJ Walker on how Prop 50 made Gavin Newsom the Democrats' top figure. Newsom raised over $100 million and convinced voters that radical action was needed to protect democracy. Walker also warns about election rule changes in Texas and North Carolina.
More than $100 million.
Texas and North Carolina.
When Prop 50 passed, Gavin Newsom emerged as the top Democratic leader in America. A lot of people like to talk about how awful Trump is, how bad it is. They're trying to change the rules in Texas and North Carolina to skew things to steal the 2026 elections. Gavin Newsom did something. It was hard work, raising more than $100 million, persuading people that we're going to have to act in a radical way, otherwise our democracy nationwide is over. He deserves congratulations.
