Newsom's Response

On March 3, Newsom accused Trump of dwelling on decor while service members died, saying the moment "went to the heart of who (Trump) is." The governor argued the president lacked a clear plan on Iran and noted the ceremony remarks overshadowed the loss of troops.

Aftermath

The comments drew backlash, including from Sen. Tammy Duckworth, and come after six U.S. soldiers died since the February 28 strikes. Newsom, who is mentioned as a 2028 hopeful, has pressed the issue publicly.
