In response to Donald Trump's anticipated second term, Democratic governors, led by J.B. Pritzker and Jared Polis, have established the 'Governors Safeguarding Democracy' coalition. The initiative aims to mobilize state resources against federal policies deemed harmful, emphasizing bipartisan collaboration to secure democratic principles and resist autocratic tendencies. With discussions around environmental protections, immigration policies, and election integrity, the coalition represents a significant collective effort among state leaders to prepare for Trump’s administration. Their strategies include legal challenges and collaborative projects to fortify state-level institutions and uphold democratic values.
