California Governor Gavin Newsom and state lawmakers are kicking off a special session to safeguard progressive state policies in anticipation of President-elect Donald Trump's return to office. The session aims to fortify California's legal and political position against expected federal challenges to state laws and initiatives.
Newsom has requested increased funding for the attorney general's office to prepare for legal battles, building on California's precedent of opposing the Trump administration through lawsuits during his first presidency.
