Gavin Newsom Predicts a Midterm ‘Blue Tsunami’ That Will End Trump’s Presidency ‘As We Know It’

California Governor Gavin Newsom told comedian Jimmy Kimmel that he believes the upcoming midterm elections will result in a "blue tsunami" of Democratic victories, effectively ending Donald Trump's presidency. During a recent appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," Newsom joked about his term as California's governor coming to an end, but quickly shifted his focus to the fall midterms. He stated, "By the way, Donald Trump has a sell-by date in six days when his presidency ends as we know it."

Newsom predicted a significant turnout of voters and strong early voting numbers, attributing this to the high stakes involved in the election. He emphasized the importance of the moment, stating, "Our founding fathers lived and died for this moment."

While the Senate remains somewhat uncertain, Newsom was confident about the outcome in the House of Representatives, saying, "The House of Representatives is a fait accompli." He added, "Finally, we'll reinstate a co-equal branch of government, not a supine Congress like we know it today."

In response to Kimmel's concerns about Trump's reaction to the election results, Newsom urged Americans to vote in large numbers to counter Trump's attempts to suppress the vote and challenge the electoral outcome. He explained, "The only way to defeat that is with margin. If we have a big enough margin in these races, he cannot contest those races."

Newsom also noted the differences between Trump's first and second terms, describing the second term as "different" and characterized by a "ruthlessness" from Trump. He concluded, "With love and respect to my party, the Democratic Party, for things to change, we need to change. We've got to be more ruthless ourselves."
