California Governor Gavin Newsom has vocally opposed President Trump's decision to send the National Guard to Los Angeles in response to protests against his immigration policies. Newsom deems Trump's military deployment unconstitutional and has ramped up his criticism through speeches, interviews, and social media. As he prepares for a potential presidential run in 2028, some Democrats see him as a much-needed anti-Trump figure, while others caution that his tactics may distract from broader democratic principles amid rising tensions.
"For the Democrat whose statewide term ends after the 2026 election, and who is widely considered a presidential contender in 2028, is this also a defining moment for him?"
"Newsom's barrage of attacks has left many demoralized Democrats hoping this is the anti-Trump leader for whom they've been waiting."
