Tom Steyer, the liberal billionaire Democrat who’s running for governor of California, seems to think that trans athletes in girls’ sports is the biggest issue facing the state.
He talked about this during a recent podcast appearance, and now he has released a video of himself talking with a trans athlete and making his support completely clear.
Steyer is obviously trying to signal his wokeness to the far left base of his party, but his relentless focus on this particular issue makes him look completely out of touch with Californians who care very deeply about more pressing matters for their state.

“Tom Steyer has taken a wildly extreme position on this issue that is totally out of touch with most California families and young people,” Hilton told Fox News Digital before the rally,” Hilton said.

Tom Steyer knows this is wrong but he doesn’t care because he only cares about himself and gaining power.
And the only way to gain power in the insane asylum called the Democratic Party is to support the destruction of… https://t.co/ExGOMczyx8

The public made their position on this issue quite clear in the 2024 election. Steyer is ignoring that completely and continues to double down on it. California voters should take note.
