Newsom's understanding of the political moment to push back against gerrymandering in Texas was pivotal and propels him into top tier contention for the 2028 nomination.

The "fail fast" response seemed to be a little too glib to explain Newsom's willingness to take political risk.

Newsom uses the term "grace" several times in the interview. It would be interesting to hear him discuss what grace means to him.

Newsom's unscripted responses were the best part of the interview. His gut-level response to JD Vance's "Heritage Americans" was excellent. Vance's rejection of the American creed is not new in U.S. politics but has become more dangerous with ubiquitous social media.

A great leap for frog-kind.
