Gov. Gavin Newsom<\/a>, D-Calif., told CNN’s Dana Bash that Democrats will need to be more “culturally normal” on issues like transgender athletes in women’s sports if they want to win voters.<\/p>\n

The “Inside Politics” host aired the rest of her lengthy interview with the California governor and potential 2028 presidential candidate about his new book, “Young Man in a Hurry,” on Monday. One of the topics included whether he still believed transgender athletes were being used as a “wedge issue” in the party.<\/p>\n

“From a tactical perspective, from the prism of purely politics, there\u2019s no doubt that the Democratic Party needs to be, dare I say, more culturally normal. I believe that \u2013 less prone to spending a disproportionate amount of time on pronouns, identity, politics, more focused on tabletop issues, things that really matter, the stacking of stress in terms of electricity bills and childcare costs and healthcare and obviously housing costs and how easily we get trapped in that, how I\u2019ve fallen prey to that,” Newsom said.<\/p>\n

Newsom claimed to have spoken from his experience being at the forefront of Democrats defending the issue and after receiving backlash for his more moderate position, arguing that there needed to be more nuance.<\/p>\n

“But I think if you can\u2019t hold the line on competitive sports \u2014 again, sports, there\u2019s some nuance in this larger conversation. But competitive medal sports, if we can\u2019t find that nuance, I think we\u2019re going to lose a lot of people that aren\u2019t \u2014 we\u2019re not going to get invited to a larger conversation. So I do think we have to be more sensitive in that respect,” he said.<\/p>\n

Newsom was asked about his past comments on transgender issues, particularly in an interview with Charlie Kirk last year when he called biological males competing in female sports “deeply unfair<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

“I said that, and I believe that,” Newsom said. “And it\u2019s not out of an indictment to the trans community, quite the contrary, and a record that can back that up, a record that is \u2014 you know, that I\u2019m attacked for my advocacy for the community, but I do think it\u2019s a very different issue in sports.”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital<\/a> has reached out to Newsom’s office for comment.<\/p>\n

Newsom faced backlash<\/a> from members of his own party for his more moderate position on transgender issues. He has insisted that he remains a staunch advocate for the transgender community.<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s an issue no one wants to hear about because 80 percent of the people listening disagree with my position on this. But it comes from my heart, not just my head. It wasn\u2019t a political evolution,” he said in an interview<\/a> with The New York Times\u2019 Ezra Klein. “I want to see trans kids. I have a trans godson. There\u2019s no governor who has signed more pro-trans legislation than I have. No one has been a stronger advocate for the LGBTQ community.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
