California Governor Gavin Newsom took a victory lap early Wednesday morning after Democrats pulled off a string of major wins across the country — and he used the moment to troll President Donald Trump in the most concise way possible.
Democrats crushed Republicans in key races nationwide, flipping the Virginia legislature, holding strong in New Jersey, scoring statewide victories in Georgia, and racking up local and legislative wins across the map. It was a rough night for the GOP — and a clear message ahead of 2026.
In California, voters also backed Newsom’s plan to strike back at Trump and Texas Republicans by redrawing districts to counter their aggressive redistricting efforts. The move was a political shot across the bow — and it landed.
Before Election Day, the White House account had posted a confident message on X: “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
After the results rolled in, Newsom quote-posted it with just three words that summed up the night: “We just did.”
The jab spread like wildfire online, with Democrats cheering the governor’s perfectly timed response.
For Newsom, it wasn’t just about a clever tweet — it was a statement. Democrats had just delivered a sweeping rebuke of Trump’s influence, and he wanted everyone, especially Trump, to know it.
