This is the Democrats’ 2028 front-runner.
Gavin Newsom’s office posted a vulgar photo of the California Governor to troll the New York Post and it immediately backfired.
The New York Post hilariously savaged Gavin Newsom’s “odd ‘testicle-crushing’ sitting pose.”
“The internet had a ball Thursday mocking California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s weirdly tense “testicle-crushing” style of cross-legged sitting at a speaking engagement,” The New York Post reported.
“The 58-year-old pol was discussing National Guard policies at the New York Times Dealbook Summit when he struck a pose that made him the butt of a joke on social media,” the outlet said.

Newsom’s official press office responded with a vulgar and (allegedly) photoshopped picture of Newsom.
“Democracy requires flexibility,” Newsom’s office said in the caption.

And this is the guy who the Democrats might run in 2028?
“Admit It. Gavin Newsom Is the 2028 Front-runner,” Politico wrote last month.
“It’s easy to find Newsom naysayers. In fact, there may not be a modern political figure who was simultaneously so well-positioned to be his party’s nominee and so doubted by the smart set since, well, Joe Biden in 2020,” the outlet wrote.
