""On every issue, on the economy, on terrorists, on immigration, on healthcare, [he's a] historically unpopular president, and he knows it, and he knows it," Newsom said. "Why else did he make that call to your governor? Why else did he feel the need to rig the election before even one vote was cast? That's just weakness, weakness masquerading as strength. That's Donald Trump, and he had a very bad night on Tuesday.""
"Newsom was the main political force behind Proposition 50, which California voters overwhelmingly approved in Tuesday's special election. The statewide ballot measure was an attempt to counter Trump's push to get Republican-led states, most notably Texas, to redraw their electoral maps to keep Democrats from gaining control of the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2026 midterms and upending his agenda. Newsom and California Democrats hope the change will net an additional five Democrat"
Gov. Gavin Newsom appeared at a Houston rally where Texas Democrats cheered his critique of President Trump and his involvement in Texas redistricting. Newsom accused Trump of pressuring Gov. Greg Abbott to redraw congressional districts to increase Republican representation, and said that prompted California's Proposition 50 special election. Newsom pushed the ballot measure to counter what he called an attempt to rig the 2026 midterm elections. California voters approved Proposition 50 overwhelmingly. Newsom ridiculed Trump as an "invasive species" and a "historically unpopular president." California Democrats hope Proposition 50 will net about five additional Democratic congressional seats.
