Gavin Newsom is having a moment. In the national struggle over U.S. House control, perhaps no politician has more at stake than the California governor, who has emerged as the leading Democratic adversary to President Donald Trump in what many see as a lightly masked trial run for his own future White House bid.

In recent days, Newsom and his office have made a shift in social media strategy that’s gotten the attention of the MAGA world.

Newsom's ongoing salvo of Trumpian barbs has thrilled many Democrats who've hungered for leaders to take a more aggressive stance toward the administration.

"Gavin Newscum is way down in the polls. He is viewed as the man who is destroying the once Great State of California. I will save California!!! President DJT."
