Gavin Newsom Heads to D.C. to Safeguard California Policies Against Trump Administration
California Governor Gavin Newsom is meeting with the Biden administration to protect state policies on climate, healthcare, and disaster relief before President-elect Trump takes office.
- Governor Newsom is seeking a $5.2 billion reimbursement for COVID-19 emergency funding and federal approval for California's climate rules.
- Newsom has called for a special legislative session to 'Trump-proof' California's policies, focusing on civil rights, reproductive freedom, and climate action.
- Trump has criticized Newsom's efforts, claiming they hinder his plans to 'Make California Great Again' and citing issues like the state's high cost of living and homelessness crisis.
- California previously won several legal battles against the Trump administration's challenges to its environmental policies during Trump's first term.
- Newsom's trip aims to secure last-minute support from the Biden administration before the transition, amid fears of policy reversals under a Republican-controlled Congress.
