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.

Great interview though. Medhi asked him all the right questions and Steyer mostly answered substantively. This should be the norm for everyone seeking high office.
Medhi is a once in a lifetime talent when it comes to interview and debate. Any candidate who gets interviewed by Medhi comes out looking better just because they Medhi is so skilled at what they do.
It also means they were willing to go up against that level of questioning and think they can handle it. It conveys a confidence in themselves and their platform. Of course it could also end in an embarrassing failure if they’re not ready for it, but if you’re worried about falling on your face under direct questioning, you shouldn’t be running.
💯
Lets see Porter take that interview.
