California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday posted a series of AI-generated images of Donald Trump as a baby, an apparent victory lap over the Republican after a series of Democratic wins at the ballot box the day before. The images included renderings of the president as a baby in a stroller and a child crying while being fed spaghetti.

Newsom, who has been copying the president’s style of online trolling for months, has been challenging the president on more than just social media, though.

On Tuesday, Newsom celebrated California voters choosing overwhelmingly to pass Proposition 50, a ballot initiative to redraw the state’s district maps to potentially add up to five Democratic seats in Congress.

The governor, a key backer of the measure, has argued the proposition was necessary because of a Trump-led Republican effort in Texas to add up to five GOP seats, one of many measures Newsom alleges amount to Trump trying to “rig” the 2026 midterms in his favor.
