Quote from San Francisco Chronicle's Joe Garofoli which reads "The goal is—from Newsom and Democrats' perspective—is to make it easier for Democrats to capture the House majority in 2026 and blunt Trump's power, because if he doesn't have control of both branches of Congress, he is less likely to do what he's been doing over last seven months."
