Newsom Seeks $25 Million to 'Trump-Proof' California Ahead of Trump's Second Term
Dec 2, 2024, 08:40 PM
California Governor Gavin Newsom has convened a special emergency session of the state legislature to "Trump-proof" California ahead of President-elect Donald Trump's second term. Beginning on Monday, lawmakers will consider allocating up to $25 million to the state's justice department, led by Attorney General Rob Bonta. The funds would establish a legal defense fund to challenge Trump's anticipated aggressive policies with lawsuits, aiming to protect California's progressive policies and values in areas such as civil rights, climate change, immigration, and abortion access. Newsom stated, "We know what happened the last time Donald Trump was president. He vandalized our progress." California previously spent $42 million fighting Trump's policies with 122 lawsuits during his first term. Newsom is positioning himself as a leader in resisting federal overreach and intends to safeguard the state from potential impacts of the incoming administration.
