The lawsuit seeks to overturn policies that have allowed transgender girls in the state to compete against female athletes, which the Department of Justice called “illegal” and “demeaning” The legal battle puts Newsom in the politically delicate position of balancing his defense of California ’s policies with remarks he made during a podcast with conservative commentator Charlie Kirk .

Newsom “can’t talk his way out of this issue,” Klink said.
