Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL) is emerging as the party’s leading foil, setting up a high-stakes 2028 contrast with Gov. Gavin Newsom .

The Illinois governor has positioned himself as a leading critic, implementing bold policies and making high-profile appearances to challenge the president.

In contrast, Newsom has adopted a more conciliatory tone, engaging with Trump -aligned voices and signaling a willingness to find common ground.

Gavin Newsom met with President Trump in Los Angeles , praised the administration’s disaster response, and described the talks as “productive” The California governor has also launched a podcast, This Is Gavin , where he interviewed conservative figures such as Steve Bannon , Charlie Kirk , and Michael Savage , framing it as an attempt to better understand the MAGA movement.

Strategists say it's too early to know which approach will resonate or who, ultimately, will break through.
