Dem star makes stunning prediction about this GOP leader's impact on Trump's 2028 decision

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has become a star in the Democratic Party, warned on Sunday that there is a GOP leader who could decide the fate of President Donald Trump's attempts to serve a third term in 2028 during an interview with CNN.

Shaniqua McClendon, the vice president of politics at Crooked Media, discussed the impact Trump's decision could have on Republicans during a new broadcast of MSNBC's "Alex Witt Reports" on Sunday.

Analyst says Trump officials may flee if Democrats win midterms: 'Would not be surprising'

Trump official drops explosive threat against California: 'We have the option'

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy made good on a previous threat against California Sunday after confirming that his agency was “about to pull $160 million” in funding for the state in response to a deadly crash caused by a migrant truck driver, while also repeating another threat that could strip the state of its ability to issue commercial driver’s licenses entirely.

“I'm about to pull $160 million from California, and as we pull more money, we also have the option of pulling California's ability to issue commercial driver's licenses,” Duffy said, appearing on Fox News Sunday. “Gavin Newsom cares more about illegals getting commercial driver's licenses than he does his citizens of his own state and the safety of Americans.”
