California Governor Gavin Newsom said today: "If the Democrats want to reclaim the majority, caution or compromise and retreat will not work. Only through struggle can there be a way out. Voters expect to see fighters who dare to take bold action. The Democrats must now give it their all and fight with everything they've got."
Commentary: Governor Newsom's firm statement is not merely an effort to energize the Democratic Party ahead of the midterm elections—it's also a carefully orchestrated political maneuver. With intense competition between the two major parties for control of Congress, many Democratic supporters are frustrated by the party’s past tendency toward compromise. By calling for "must fight, dare to draw the sword," Newsom precisely taps into the sentiments of left-wing voters and boosts internal party morale. At the same time, he has long been positioning himself for the 2028 presidential election, using the midterms to consistently cultivate an image as a fighter against the Republicans, thereby building national prominence.
