Among the pictures were depictions of a weeping kid being fed spaghetti and the president as a baby in a stroller.

However, Newsom has been confronting the president on platforms other than social media, imitating the president's online trolling technique for months.

Newsom rejoiced on Tuesday after California voters handily approved Proposition 50, a ballot initiative that would restructure the state's district lines and possibly gain five Democratic seats in Congress.

The governor, one of the measure's main supporters, has said that the proposal was required due to a Trump-led Republican attempt in Texas to gain up to five GOP seats. This is just one of several actions that Newsom claims equate to Trump attempting to "rig" the 2026 midterm elections in his favor.

“Tonight, after poking the bear, this bear roared, with unprecedented turnout in a special election,”

Newsom said Tuesday in a victory speech.

“None of use however are naive,”

he added.

“This is a pattern. This is a practice. Donald Trump’s efforts to rig the midterm election continue to this day... Donald Trump does not believe in free and fair elections.”

The Democrat has argued that Trump moves, including sending the military and National Guard to mostly Democrat-led cities around the country, are authoritarian attempts to stifle political opposition.

Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani won the mayoral contest in New York City, while Democrats flipped red governor's seats in Virginia and New Jersey, among other bellwether blue successes from yesterday's elections.

During a meeting with Congress on Wednesday, President Trump refrained from his customary barrage and admitted that the GOP's performance in the midterms was subpar, blaming the current government shutdown.

The president has urged Republicans to end the filibuster, a procedural rule that requires a supermajority of 60 votes to pass the Senate, in order to end the shutdown.

How have voters reacted to Newsom's AI baby posts?

Voter responses to Governor Gavin Newsom's AI- generated baby Trump posts have been mixed but generally poignant in terms of social media engagement. Numerous Egalitarians and progressive sympathizers have embraced the sportful and instigative style as a stimulating change, appreciating Newsom’s digital bravado and sharp lampoon aimed at former President Trump. 

The posts have gone viral, boosting Newsom’s profile and marking him as a strong and unapologetic voice within the party, reverberating especially with youngish and further digitally smart choosers. 

Still, some voters, including centrists and critics, view the posts as divisive and potentially unpresidential, concerned that similar capers might consolidate polarization rather than foster formative dialogue.
