Democratic governors vow to protect their states from Trump and his policies

Democratic governors in blue states are preparing to counter actions by the federal government under the new Trump administration. They are convening special sessions and developing legal strategies to protect civil rights, reproductive freedom, climate action, and immigrant families. California Governor Gavin Newsom is leading these efforts, aiming to “Trump-proof” state laws. Other governors, like JB Pritzker in Illinois and Kathy Hochul in New York, are also taking steps to protect their states from potential federal threats. They are committed to safeguarding their residents’ fundamental freedoms and pushing back against policies that go against their values.
