California Governor Gavin Newsom recently gave a friendly but firm warning to New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, suggesting that his surprisingly amicable relationship with President Donald Trump might not end the way Mamdani hopes. It was a simple sentence, “ I know how this love story ends, Zohran.” Newsom expressed his concerns during an event in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, where he was promoting his new memoir.
Newsom’s cautionary words stem from his own past dealings with Trump. Per Politico, after Trump’s second election, Newsom initially adopted an “open hand, not a closed fist” approach, even famously embracing the president following devastating wildfires in Los Angeles early last year.
