Gavin Newsom Predicates Trump Era Will ‘De Facto End’ | EUROtoday

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) made a stark prediction about what he thinks the destiny of Donald Trump’s presidency might be after the 2026 midterms.

Speaking with MS NOW’s Jen Psaki on Wednesday’s version of “The Briefing with Jen Psaki,” Newsom laid into the president after Psaki talked about there has not too long ago been “a lot of outrage” amongst Trump’s MAGA base over his administration’s dealing with of the Epstein recordsdata in addition to Trump “doubling down on tariffs.”

Asking Newsom if he thinks something has “shifted” since Trump has confronted criticism from his personal supporters, the governor responded by declaring that Trump’s presidency will “de facto end” when the Democratic Party wins elections in November.

“Even if [Trump and his supporters] fell out, he’s the president of the United States for the next three years. Good news, he’s temporary. That’s just three years. And the presidency as we know it will de facto end this November when we get the gavel back and Speaker [Hakeem] Jeffries becomes the next speaker, as long as we remain vigilant,” the Democratic governor advised Psaki.

Newsom went on to accuse Trump of utilizing “suppression tactics” to try to place the midterms in his favor by “nationaliz[ing] federal elections,” “vandaliz[ing] free and fair elections,” “going after [the] vote by mail [process],” and “sending out those masked [federal agents] all across this country.”

The governor added: “He’s a reality, and we can’t turn our back to that reality.”

Pivoting to debate NPR’s Tuesday report that alleged that the Justice Department withheld and eliminated greater than 50 Epstein recordsdata associated to Trump, Newsom argued, “There’s a reason he’s single-handedly worked so hard to make sure they were never released … Period.”

After Psaki questioned what the rationale was, Newsom replied that it’s “to be determined.”

Calling the NPR story “pretty damn alarming,” he continued, “Here’s what’s more alarming and this is my biggest concern — is that there’s a chance that we may not [ever] know for one reason.”

Telling Psaki that he can envision Trump “pardoning half the damn administration” and “things disappearing” on “[his] way out,” he harassed, “we need to be mindful of that. We need to be vigilant of that. This is the rule of Don. It’s the rule of the jungle. There’s no rule of law.”

Newsom added: “The courts are speed bumps [to Trump]they’re not stop signs. He tries to work around them. He doesn’t believe in coequal branches of government.”

Earlier within the interview, Newsom referred to Trump as a “broken man,” including, “that’s why I think he tried to break our country.”
