Billionaire Tom Steyer is on track to spend more on his campaign to succeed Gavin Newsom than any other gubernatorial candidate in California history. Steyer is running on a progressive agenda to build one million homes, ban corporate PAC money from state elections, and prosecute ICE agents. He’s polling near the top of a tight race.

In this ‘Mehdi Unfiltered’ interview, Mehdi Hasan asks Steyer about his promises, Eric Swalwell dropping out of the race, how he would grade Gavin Newsom as governor, and Trump calling him a ‘SLEAZEBAG’ and a ‘LOSER.’

Watch the full video to hear Mehdi press Steyer about his past, his policies, and his billionaire status.

    I stand by what I said.

    I’ve outlined how what you said was ahistorical and how even the tent-poles of the progressive movement got Fetterman wrong. So since you’ve got a magical wizard-mind that is able to go backwards in time to to rewrite history, please tell us how we get it wrong: Should we trust Steyer? Are they another Fetterman?
