California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) on Monday issued a dire warning about President Donald Trump and his continued panic about the upcoming midterm elections, pointing to his social media post on Sunday to warn that the MAGA leader is aiming to help “rig” the proceedings.
“Donald Trump is OPENLY calling to suspend elections so MAGA can rig them,” Newsom wrote Monday on X. “That’s how democracy ends.”
Trump on Sunday published a proverbial rallying cry on his Truth Social platform after the U.S. Supreme Court last week struck a blow to the Voting Rights Act, urging Republicans to continue their efforts in redrawing congressional districts to their advantage.
“We cannot allow there to be an Election that is conducted unconstitutionally simply for the ‘convenience’ of State Legislatures,” wrote Trump. “If they have to vote twice, so be it. We should demand that State Legislatures do what the Supreme Court says must be done.”
He continued, “That is more important than administrative convenience. The byproduct is that the Republicans will receive more than 20 House Seats in the upcoming Midterms!”
