2:17Now PlayingCalifornia Gov. Gavin Newsom called on Democrats to “wake up” and be as ruthless as the Republicans. "We've got to wake up to this new reality, so we have to be, dare I say it? I'm sorry, Democrats, but we have to be as ruthless as our opposition,” he said. “We have to win.” Newsom predicted President Trump’s hold on the Republican Party won’t last beyond his departure from office.
Newsom, who’s weighing his own presidential bid, claimed no one -- including Vice President JD Vance -- can replicate Trump’s “cult of personality.”
