California Gov. Gavin Newsom speaks during a rally with Harris County Democrats at the IBEW local 716 union hall on Saturday, Nov. 8, 2025, in Houston. | Karen Warren/APThe Proposition 50 win was huge. The nearly two-to-one spread (64%–36%) covered all of voter-rich Southern California, including Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Imperial Counties.
Governor Newsom was the instigator, primary advocate, and fundraiser ($80 million) for the proposition after overcoming skeptical legislators and a well-funded opposition.

The few early national polls have Newsom first or in the top three for the Democratic Presidential nomination. Winning the high-profile contest countering President Trump’s Texas redistricting strategy makes him the fighter Democrats have been looking for. And having a high profile in the November 4 national Blue surge was good political fortune.
The Democratic Party’s work now focuses on the 2026 mid-term election and expect Newsom to spend considerable time out of state.
