California Governor Gavin Newsom has intensified his social-media offensive against President Donald Trump, ridiculing the president’s recent “bela” typo and reprising Trump’s own all-caps style to mock a June stumble on the Air Force One stairs. The governor’s digital team also christened Vice President JD Vance “Just Dance Vance,” circulating a break-dancing meme that drew a response from the White House communications staff. The online barrage accompanies Newsom’s newly announced Election Rigging Response Act, a November ballot measure that would return redistricting power to California’s legislature and allow Democrats to counter Republican gerrymanders in states such as Texas and Indiana. Newsom argues the step is required to blunt what he calls Trump-backed efforts to entrench Republican control of the U.S. House; critics on the right dismissed the plan as partisan overreach and decried his taunting tone toward Texas Governor Greg Abbott. Political gamblers appear to welcome the combative posture. Polymarket data show Newsom’s probability of securing the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination rising two percentage points after the latest posts, while prediction market Kalshi reports the highest implied odds for his candidacy to date. The episode underscores how meme-driven tactics, once associated primarily with Trump, are being adopted by his potential challengers as the 2026 midterms and 2028 race begin to take shape.
