Gavin Newsom of California made the case for not only hearing out some of the most hard-line figures on the American right, but also welcoming them onto his show \u2014 a choice that prompted pushback from his latest guest, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, the 2024 Democratic vice-presidential nominee.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Hours later, Gov. JB Pritzker of Illinois took a different approach in a speech at the Center for American Progress, an influential liberal think tank.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Trump administration, he implied, had plunged the country into a \u201cvillainous cruelty\u201d that must be fiercely opposed by a unified Democratic front.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe have to take any opportunity where we have leverage in order to stand up and fight,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">For an unpopular Democratic Party that is struggling to find a way forward, the most significant dividing line \u2014 for now \u2014 is not one of ideology.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Instead, as Democrats try to craft a new vision, they are clashing over a simpler question: How hard should they resist?<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It is a debate that has played out in angry protests and on Capitol Hill, as Democrats <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/14\/us\/politics\/government-shutdown-spending-bill-schumer-democrats.html\" title=\"\">grapple with<\/a> Senator Chuck Schumer\u2019s decision to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/17\/us\/politics\/chuck-schumer-book-tour-postponed.html\" title=\"\">vote with Republicans<\/a> to stave off a government shutdown, a move that, Mr. Walz <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2025\/03\/18\/tim-walz-chuck-schumer-shutdown-026353\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">suggested<\/a>, \u201cgave up our leverage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">And the Tuesday appearances by three high-profile governors \u2014 all of whom could run for president in 2028 \u2014 crystallized Democrats\u2019 political, tactical and messaging tensions as the party <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/politics-news\/democratic-party-hits-new-polling-low-voters-want-fight-trump-harder-rcna196161\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">faces its lowest favorability ratings<\/a> in at least a generation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Battle President Trump at every turn, or focus on finding common ground? Move right on some cultural issues, or offer a full-throated defense of liberal values? Try to win back some Trump voters, or prioritize those turned off by both parties?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI don\u2019t think we\u2019re going to win over those 77 million that voted for Donald Trump,\u201d Mr. Walz told Mr. Newsom. \u201cI\u2019m concerned with the 90 million who stayed home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Certainly, those approaches are not mutually exclusive, and many Democratic officials, including these governors, are navigating a balancing act.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Newsom, long a proud liberal, is one of the many Democrats wrestling with how to respond to Mr. Trump\u2019s comfortable victory in November.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It was to Mr. Kirk that Mr. Newsom suggested that the participation of transgender athletes in women\u2019s sports <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/06\/us\/politics\/gavin-newsom-transgender-sports-democrats.html\" title=\"\">was \u201cdeeply unfair,\u201d<\/a> openly voicing an opinion that few top Democrats had.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">And on Tuesday, while the conversation with Mr. Walz was friendly, it also revealed flickers of more fundamental disagreements about the party\u2019s direction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">During the campaign, Mr. Walz served as a walking, talking, cussing permission structure for white men to vote Democratic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But Mr. Newsom\u2019s recent guests, he signaled, went beyond the bounds of the bigger tent Democrats are hoping to build.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThese are bad guys,\u201d Mr. Walz said, suggesting that they trafficked in racism and misogyny.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cBut they exist,\u201d Mr. Newsom replied. \u201cNot only do they exist, they persist. And they\u2019re actually influencing young kids every single day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Newsom defended his decision to host Mr. Bannon, saying he was highlighting \u201creal issues that our party needs to come to grips with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Bannon, he said, \u201creminded me a little bit of my grandfather when he talks about working folks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cHe denies the election,\u201d Mr. Walz replied. On that, Mr. Newsom agreed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At another point, Mr. Walz asked Mr. Newsom about laying down a \u201cclear marker\u201d against demonizing L.G.B.T.Q. people, as the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/11\/us\/transgender-trump-executive-orders.html\" title=\"\">Trump administration targets<\/a> transgender Americans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe have the back of our diverse communities \u2014 we don\u2019t just rhetorically say that we\u2019ve done it,\u201d said Mr. Newsom, a longtime defender of L.G.B.T.Q. rights. \u201cI just think there are areas where we may overreach.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIf you don\u2019t acknowledge that,\u201d he added, \u201cyou\u2019re going to lose people on everything else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Pritzker has taken a radically different approach. Rather than cede any ground to Republicans, he has used high-profile appearances to raise alarms about an administration that he compares to the rise of Nazism in Germany.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cAmericans are experiencing the cruelty that comes with authoritarian rule,\u201d he said. \u201cI wish there were more people, more elected leaders, community leaders, who would step up and speak out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Still, simply resisting Mr. Trump is not enough for Democrats to win in the future, he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe have to call out the B.S. that Republicans have been selling,\u201d he said. \u201cMeanwhile, Democrats have to make people\u2019s lives better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On that point, at least, all three of the governors seem to agree.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe\u2019ve got to offer them something,\u201d Mr. Walz said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cExactly,\u201d Mr. Newsom replied. \u201cThat\u2019s the soul-searching that we need.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion
