California Governor Gavin Newsom spoke with podcaster Scott Galloway on June 1, 2026, about perceived missteps by the Democratic Party that he believes are harming its reputation. During the discussion, Galloway highlighted Los Angeles as a case where the party's governance could impact broader electoral outcomes. Newsom acknowledged that while progress has been made in addressing homelessness in California, it has not been sufficiently visible. He attributed the ongoing issues, particularly street homelessness, to a lack of effective local leadership and a prevailing 'victim mindset' among some officials. Newsom noted that there has been a nearly double-digit decrease in unsheltered homelessness in California, a significant achievement he claims has not been seen in decades. He discussed the necessity of a more aggressive approach from the Democratic Party, emphasizing the need for stronger leadership and a reevaluation of strategies in light of changing public perceptions following the COVID-19 pandemic.
