California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, has challenged Vice President JD Vance, a Republican, to face off in a debate, but Vance has not responded on X to the governor's post.

Vice President Vance accused the California governor of "egging on" rioters in Los Angeles amid ICE and DHS expanding their operations.

After 6 1/2 years of denying any interest in running for president, Gavin Newsom has finally fessed up. In a flurry of media interviews keyed to anti-Donald Trump demonstrations in Los Angeles and elsewhere, Newsom has acknowledged what everyone in and around national politics had already assumed — that he’s entertaining a White House bid.
