"We need the state of Virginia. We need the state of Maryland. We need our friends in New York and Illinois and Colorado, the governor said. By retaking the House, he said, we can de facto end Donald Trump's presidency as we know it."
"He won't have four years, he'll only have two, Johnson said of Trump."
"Newsom has used the ballot measure to elevate his national profile and raise millions of dollars in contributions as he plans a possible run for president in 2028."
California voters approved Proposition 50 in a landslide, giving Democrats a tool to redraw congressional districts. The campaign was heavily funded and framed as pushback against President Donald Trump and similar Republican redistricting efforts. Governor Gavin Newsom used the measure to raise millions and bolster his national profile while eyeing a possible 2028 presidential run. Newsom described the measure as one battle in a national fight over redistricting and urged Democratic-led states to act to help retake the U.S. House. Republican leaders warned Democrats would try to curtail Trump's remaining term if they regain the House, setting up a competitive 2026 midterm season.
