Description

Gov. Gavin Newsom says President Donald Trump is laying the groundwork to challenge next month’s Proposition 50 special election and undermine future elections, calling the Department of Justice election monitors at California polling places “a preview of things to come.” 


He joined Marisa Lagos and Scott Shafer in studio to discuss why Prop 50 is about more than redistricting, Trump’s decision not to send troops to San Francisco, his controversial stance on trans athletes in sports and why he thinks Democrats are “so damn weak as a party.”
