Newsom Opens to Supreme Court Expansion, Calls Electoral College Perverted in 2028 Shadow

Summary
Gavin Newsom said he is now more open to expanding the Supreme Court, shifting from his stance a year ago when he opposed it over fears of endless retaliation.
18-year term limits remain his preferred reform, but he told Don Lemon that arguments tied to lower-court disputes had moved him closer to backing expansion.
California's governor was sharper on the Electoral College, saying it has "perverted" U.S. politics and arguing the Constitution should be amended to change a system he says disadvantages large states.
The comments add to a pattern: Newsom made similar remarks in June, and they land as Democrats debate court structure while House Republicans push to lock the bench at nine seats.
