Democratic governors across the country are using their state powers to fight back against President Donald Trump‘s policies. This has created early competition for the 2028 presidential race. Governors like Gavin Newsom of California and JB Pritzker of Illinois are taking strong stands against Trump’s agenda.
The governors are acting while Congress has limited power to stop Trump’s plans. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries must mostly react to Republican policies rather than create their own. The governors have more freedom to act in their states.
