California Governor Gavin Newsom and the state’s lawmakers plan to return to the state Capitol on Monday to begin a special session to protect the state’s progressive policies ahead of another Trump presidency.
The Democratic governor seems to be positioning California to be a place of resistance against President Trump and his America first agenda. Newsom is asking his left-wing allies to approve additional funding to prepare for legal fights against federal challenges.
“We’re not going to be caught flat-footed,” Newsom said at one of his recent news conferences.
Newsom has an uphill battle though, Trump is well prepared and has been aggressive in nominating conservative jurists to federal courts at all levels, including the supreme court!
