While I understand your perspective, I believe it's important to consider Gavin Newsom's political journey in its entirety. He began his career in 2004 as the mayor of San Francisco, where he was widely regarded as a moderate. His policies often reflected a balance between progressive ideals and pragmatic governance, which earned him support across a broad spectrum of voters.
As Governor of California, he has indeed championed several progressive policies, such as expanding healthcare access and addressing climate change. However, these actions do not necessarily negate his moderate approach. Governing a state as diverse and complex as California requires navigating a middle ground, and he has consistently demonstrated a willingness to work with various stakeholders to achieve practical solutions.
It’s worth noting that the perception of his progressivism may overshadow his moderate tendencies, especially in today’s polarized political climate. But when you examine his record, it becomes clear that he often governs with a centrist approach, focusing on pragmatic outcomes rather than ideological extremes.
