This was the most important speech of the year. He also didn't ask Kirk for advice. And he is delivering 5 House seats. 23 Democratic governors, 15 Democratic trifectas. Where is everyone else? www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wlO...

He's not delivering anything. It has to go to a popular vote first. He has very little control over whether it actually happens. Either he asked Kirk for advice or he already agreed with Kirk's transphobic position. I'm not sure which is worse but I know I won't vote for him in the primary.

Newsom said trans in sports was a matter of "fairness." Same thing Buttigieg said. Where's the Never Pete movement?

But he didn't stop there. He also said gender affirming care should be limited to people over 25. He's speed running down the slippery slope to the Republican position on this issue.

It was something he and Shawn Ryan agreed about on Ryan's podcast. www.erininthemorning.com/p/newsoms-bi...

Of course he has a role in getting it done. He is the one who proposed it. Built the legislative support. Then is the leading advocate and face of the effort to get the amendment passed.
