California Governor and 2028 presidential hopeful Gavin Newsom has accused President Trump of “rigging” next year’s midterm elections.
During an appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday morning, Newsom also made the false claim that Trump was a “historically unpopular president,” even though he has won every presidential election he has run in.
Newsom also touted his redistricting efforts in California, known as Proposition 50, which will allow Democrats to gerrymander numerous congressional seats.
To do this, Newsom must get the green light from voters to dismantle California’s independent redistricting commission and, consequently, redraw the maps so that Republicans have no political representation at all.
He explained:
This is a historically unpopular president. His policies are even more unpopular than the president himself. In every core category he’s under water. He’s the guy who promised to make us wealthier and healthier and we are poorer and sicker.
Across the board people are starting to realize not only is coffee more expensive, beef is more expensive, the cost of an automobile is more expensive, utilities and all of the things he promised to solve day one he hasn’t solved.
His recklessness aside and his style aside, his substance he hasn’t delivered and that’s why we’re here, Prop 50 because he knows he’ll lose the midterms and he’s trying to rig the election before one vote is cast.”
He’s been very open and honest including right outside the White House just last week saying incumbents are likely to lose the midterms and that’s why he called Greg Abbot.
That’s why he said he’s quote, unquote, entitled. Think about that, entitled to five seats. It’s why he sent J.D. Vance to Indiana shortly thereafter and why he moved in Missouri.
He moved the folks in North Carolina and now we have a special election in Indiana, rather, a special session. He is not screwing around. He’s changing the rules and he’s rigging the game because he knows he’ll lose if all things are equal.

While California is indeed a heavily blue state, it is also home to one of the country’s largest blocks of Republicans.
During the 2024 presidential election, President Trump received over six million votes in the state alone, more than he did in Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Kansas and several other red states combined.
