In the week that has transpired since Donald Trump's victory over Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential elections, California Governor Gavin Newsom has been vying to position the state as a space of resistance against the President-elect's expected attacks on abortion, electric vehicles, immigration and federal disaster aid. As a result, the Democrat announced a special session of the state legislature to "Trump-proof" California.
Newsom also made the rounds this weekend when he shared a two-minute video in which he said that he will stay vigilant to what he considers an attack on "American values and freedoms."
