We are less than a day away from Tuesday's major elections. And in California, Governor Newsom just gave a powerful speech about Prop 50. All the right wing threw all the resources originally to try to crush Prop 50, a way that Governor Newsom asserted his moral and formal authority against Trump's efforts to rig the midterms. And now Prop 50 has the momentum. People still absolutely need to show up. But this is an important moment showing how to fight back. Let me show you earlier today. Here we have Governor Newsom talking about what's going on in the Trump MAGA world, how these people are not screwing around. They're surgical at how they want to take apart our democracy.
Play this clip. He had full stop. That's why he made the call to Greg Abbott saying he's entitled to five seats. That's why he sent J.D. Vance to Indiana. That's why he moved them to make the decision they did in Missouri. That's why they moved in North Carolina. These guys are not screwing around. But I'll end on this. They did not expect California. They did not expect all of you. They thought we were going to write an op-ed, have a candlelight vigil, maybe do a rally.
They poked the bear, and the bear is poking back. And we're going to get out there and win and send a powerful message, not only to the people of the state of California, but the people all over the United States of America by going out in record numbers. Yes, on 50.
Thank you, guys. Powerful words there by Governor Newsom. Earlier in the speech, he talked about how Donald Trump is just weakness masquerading as strength. Let's play it.
It's great to be back here. And I'll just conclude with this. Jen said it. Other speakers said it. Donald Trump is nothing more than weakness masquerading as strength. Why else do you need to make a phone call to Greg Abbott in the middle of a midterm redistricting? Unless you're weak. You saw today Donald Trump one-upped himself. Historic president. Historically unpopular president. The most unpopular since his first term. He's underwater in every key category. He knows he's going to lose the midterm elections. Period. Full stop. That's why he made the call to Greg Abbott saying he's entitled to five seats. That's why he sent J.D. Vance to Indiana. That's why he moved them to make the decision they did in Missouri.
That's why they moved in North Carolina. These guys are not screwing around.
I want to bring in former United States Attorney General Eric Holder, who held that position from 2009 to 2015, the 82nd in the United States history. Great to see you, Mr. Holder. I want to ask you about what you just saw right there and Prop 50 in general. It's right here, Tuesday's Election Day. I know you've been a big supporter of Prop 50. How big are the stakes here?
What is the immediate election context and why is Tuesday described as a rude awakening for Republicans?
The stakes are just enormous, and I think I really applaud Governor Newsom and all the people in California who had the guts and the foresight to put this before the people of California in response to that which Republicans have tried to do, have done, I guess, in Texas and in other states as well. This is all about power.
