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.

Newsom predicted that Trump's second term would "de facto end" if Democrats can retake control of the House of Representatives during the 2026 midterm election. That would give the party control over the federal budget and give them the ability to impeach Trump for acts he takes while in office.

A new op-ed published in The Washington Post on Sunday argued that America's worsening "spiritual depth" poses a grave threat to democracy in the nation.

Authored by Utah Gov. Spencer Cox, a Republican, and Ian Marcus Corbin, director of the Public Culture Project at Harvard, the op-ed contends that America's democracy "will not last another 250 years" unless the country can overcome the impact of its material prosperity. The op-ed draws on a warning issued by President Calvin Coolidge in 1926 during the 150th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

A political analyst warned on Sunday that President Donald Trump's decision not to backfill the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program with money the administration used to pay for military salaries during the government shutdown could harm a "tremendous" number of Trump voters and cause Republicans to "pay" at the polls in 2026.

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. She said Republicans have gone along with Trump's plan because "they don't want to" help poor people afford food.

As the 2026 midterm elections fast approach, and with assessments suggesting a potentially strong performance from Democrats, a number of top Trump administration officials may resign in an effort to avoid being “slapped with subpoenas” from a Democrat-controlled Congress, political analyst and journalist Jason Easley argued Sunday in an analysis.

“Suppose Democrats win control of Congress and the presidency in 2028,” Easley wrote on PoliticusUSA, a left-leaning news website.

As inflation continues to tick up, rising last month at a pace not seen since January, President Donald Trump continues to dismiss the concerns of Americans over increasing costs in a manner not dissimilar to former President Joe Biden, columnist Heather Digby Parton argued Sunday. She labeled the issue of inflation a “ticking time bomb” for the GOP.u

“Inflation, I’ve already taken care of,” Trump said this week during a roundtable held Thursday at the White House.
