California Governor Gavin Newsom (Democrat) will become a “leader of the resistance” against President-elect Donald Trump as he finishes his second and final term and sets his sights on a possible 2028 presidential bid. It's ready.
That's the view of Republican strategist Rob Stutzman, a former aide to California's last Republican governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, who supported Vice President Kamala Harris.
“California will seek to work with the next president, but to be clear, we will work with states across the country to uphold the Constitution and uphold the rule of law.” said.

Jerry Brown (D), rejected this, saying: “I don't use the word resistance…It's a word associated with the French underground and people who risked their lives.” So it's a fair and appropriate metaphor for recent conflicts over policy. “I don't know if that's the case,” he said. said of new york times In 2017.

His decision to stand back and campaign for Harris instead could give party insiders an advantage.
