Newsom, viewed as a possible Democratic presidential candidate for 2028, has repeatedly clashed with Trump and his Administration over a range of political and legal disputes.

Newsom hit the campaign trail in Nevada last week in an effort to boost Democrats in the midterms.

When contacted for comment by TIME, White House spokesperson Davis Ingle said Newsom is “the worst governor in America.”

In a speech that lasted more than eight minutes, Newsom argued the "nation’s democratic promise is under threat" from what he described as a “corrupt and unstable President.”

In May, Newsom signed a bill to strengthen California’s voting safeguards ahead of the primary elections, citing what he characterized as “legitimate anxiety” over potential efforts by the Trump Administration to interfere in the democratic process.

Just last month, Trump accused California Democrats of “cheating” and “trying to steal” elections from Republicans as Democrat Nithya Raman edged out his preferred candidate Spencer Pratt to secure the second spot in the Los Angeles mayoral race.

But the tensions between the long-time sparring partners extend far beyond vote counts.

Trump suggested Newsom should be arrested over his handling of the unrest, insisting the National Guard was needed.

In his speech marking July 4, Newsom looked back on that time, warning: “Hear me clearly, that was a test run, a rehearsal. He’s measuring how far he can go and who would dare stop him.”

The pair clashed again over matters related to redistricting efforts ahead of the midterms.

Newsom led a successful ballot measure last November, securing the redrawing of California's congressional district maps, a move designed to flip as many as five Republican-held seats, in response to a Trump-backed redistricting effort in Texas.
