"We didn't get into trans sports. That's an issue no one wants to hear about because 80% of people listening disagree with my position on this, but it comes from my heart. Not just my head. It wasn't a political evolution," Newsom said.

"I don't think it's fair...I wanna see trans kids, I have a trans godson. There's no governor that's done more pro trans legislation than I have, and no one has been a stronger advocate for the LGBTQ community," he continued.

Well, Nicki Minaj took to X to express her disappointment: "Imagine being the guy running on wanting to see trans kids. Haha. Not even a trans ADULT would run on that. Normal adults wake up & think they want to see HEALTHY, SAFE, HAPPY kids… Not Gav. The Gav Nots. GavOUT. Send in the next guy, I'm bored."
