California Gears Up to Protect Policies in Anticipation of Trump's Return

California's governor, Gavin Newsom, is preparing for a possible new Trump presidency by calling for a special session of the legislature. This move comes just after Trump's win over Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential race. Newsom wants to safeguard California's progressive policies on climate change, reproductive rights, and immigration. He's asking for more funding for the attorney general's office to fight any federal challenges.Other Democratic states like New York and Massachusetts are also getting ready for potential threats. California was a hub of resistance during Trump's first term, and Trump has been critical of the state. Newsom has promised to work with Trump but also to stand with other states to defend the Constitution. California has led the way in many areas like electric cars and health care for all, and the governor wants to protect these achievements.
