State of the Union: Interviews with California Gov. Gavin Newsom; Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy
CNN Politics
Nov 9, 2025

On CNN’s State of the Union, Jake Tapper sits down exclusively with California Gov. Gavin Newsom for a wide-ranging interview. They discuss his decisive redistricting win, the state of the Democratic Party, whether he will run for president in 2028, and how Democrats can reverse their slide among young male voters. Then, amid mounting travel turmoil, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy joins Jake to discuss what travelers should expect as the shutdown drags on. Next, CNN Political Commentators Xochitl Hinojosa, Kristen Soltis Anderson, Bakari Sellers, and Republican Rep. Riley Moore join Jake to discuss what lessons Trump and Republicans should take from Democrats’ sweeping election wins. Finally, Jake wonders why President Trump isn’t taking his past advice on what presidents need to do to end government shutdowns.
