Newsom threatens: 2026 is about impeachment

Byron York, Washington Examiner

A reasonable reading of what Newsom wrote is that a Democratic House would end the

Trump presidency by using the constitutional procedure to end presidencies — impeachment. Republicans certainly believe that is what would happen should Democrats take the House next year. “Democrats would vote to impeach on their first day,” if they win, Speaker Mike Johnson said recently. Newsom’s stance illustrates a particular strain of thinking in the Democratic Party — that if the party just tries one more time, this time it will work.
