In response to Donald Trump's election, governors from California, New York, Illinois, and others are planning legal strategies to protect their state policies on abortion, immigration, and environmental regulations. California Governor Gavin Newsom has convened a special legislative session to create a 'Trump-proof' legal framework. Other governors echoed similar sentiments, pushing back against perceived threats from the incoming administration. This ongoing political standoff reflects previous battles during Trump's first term, as states prepare to safeguard their values against federal actions they anticipate undermining them.
