Gavin Newsom condemns Democrats’ ‘climate hushing’, predicts Trump’s downfall and expects AOC to run in 2028

California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized Democrats for avoiding discussions on climate change, stating that the reason for their reluctance is their lack of understanding on how to effectively communicate the issue. In an interview with the Guardian and Covering Climate Now, Newsom emphasized the need for Democrats to link climate shocks to "kitchen table" concerns.

He predicted that the midterm elections in November could mark "the end of Donald Trump's presidency as we know it." To prevent Trump from potentially invalidating the election results, Newsom urged voters to turn out in massive numbers, making it impossible for Trump to contest the outcome. Should Trump resort to declaring a national emergency or any other attempt to invalidate the results, Newsom believed that citizens, the courts, and Congress would need to step in and uphold the rule of law.
