Newsom Urges 25th Amendment Against Trump After Los Angeles, San Diego Remarks

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Oct 7

Gavin Newsom renewed his call to remove Donald Trump under the 25th Amendment, calling the president "mentally ill" after remarks about Los Angeles and San Diego at a Nebraska rally.
At the event, Trump argued Americans were paying a "small price" to keep the country safe from Iran, then said, "Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego."
The White House said critics were misreading the comments, with communications director Steven Cheung arguing Trump meant U.S. cities would have been threatened if Iran had obtained a nuclear weapon.
Newsom had made a similar 25th Amendment push in July over Trump's election-integrity speech, a stance that drew Republican accusations of a double standard after Democrats defended Joe Biden's fitness in office.
The 25th Amendment allows the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet—or another body designated by Congress—to declare a president unable to perform the duties of office.
