California Governor Gavin Newsom issued a forceful warning about the state of American democracy, saying the United States is at risk of abandoning long-standing democratic norms and legal processes.
Newsom said his country was facing a pivotal moment as President Donald Trump continues to exert political influence.
“What happened to due process? What happened to the rule of law?” Newsom asked. He emphasised that governance must follow legal structures and accountability. “I’m a little old-fashioned. It’s not ‘ready, fire, aim.’ It’s ‘ready, aim, fire.’ I believe in the rule of law. I don’t believe in the rule of Don, D-O-N,” he said.
