California's Prop. 50 vote and DOJ monitors may signal whether other states' lawmakers will support or oppose President Trump's agenda before the midterms.
Last week, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that it will send monitors to Los Angeles and other locations in California and New Jersey for next week's balloting. Those who study voting and democracies warn that this could be a test run for how far Trump could go in attempting to impose his will on the 2026 midterms and perhaps the 2028 presidential election.
