I want to go now to California.
Joel Pollack joins us.
Joel, you've got a good sense of California as anybody in politics.
I'm hearing rumblings, sir, that this could be quite a blowout on Prop 50 and be the springboard, not just for
Winning the House of Representatives, because we now know Virginia taking the lead is saying they're going to go to a 10 to 1 map.
Wes Moore has already been on MSNBC saying he's calling together a commission to pick up at least a seat in Maryland.
That's going to be a springboard for Gavin Newsom's 2028 run and the impeachment of President Trump in 26.
Your thoughts, sir?
Well, this was definitely Gavin Newsom's play for 2028.
And of course, he also wants to be seen as helpful to Democrats in 2026.
The Republican delegation in California is now at nine seats.
It could go down to four seats as a result of this new map.
A couple of the seats in the Central Valley will still be competitive, but Newsom is staking his claim to be the leader of the party, the man who put the party in a position to take the House
and to stop the Trump presidency.
Now, if you ask Newsom directly whether he wants to impeach the president, he'll say, oh, no, no, no, we just want oversight of the president.
But we know it's not going to stop there.
This is definitely an attempt to end the Trump presidency early by impeaching him.
Of course, the Senate won't convict, but you never know what might happen.
They're just going to try to stop everything Trump is doing.
In large part, that's what this shutdown is about.
