California Governor Gavin Newsom has faced increasing tensions as President Trump deploys the National Guard to handle protests against immigration raids. Newsom expressed his willingness to support California residents, but remains firm against what he sees as violations of the Constitution by the Trump administration. The situation has thrust him into a more prominent role within the Democratic resistance, especially concerning immigration issues. Trump's criticism of Newsom's leadership adds additional pressure as both leaders navigate a contentious political landscape.
I'm still willing to do what I can to have the backs of the people I represent and whatever it takes to advance that cause... but I'm not going to do it when we see the trampling of our Constitution and the rule of law.
Whether Newsom likes it or not, the president's actions also catapulted the governor to the front lines of a Democratic resistance against Trump that he has been reluctant to embrace.
