Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) made his way to the nation’s capital on Wednesday to lobby his state’s federal lawmakers and the outgoing Biden-Harris administration to help California prepare for President-elect Donald Trump’s second term.

There appears to be no limit to the hubris of Governor Gavin Newsom. While the state continues to suffer from failed progressive policies that hemorrhage productive citizens and businesses leaving California, Newsom is laser-focused on being the most prominent figure of the Trump resistance.

Californians deserve real progress, not political showdowns that ultimately cost taxpayers and distract from the urgent needs of our state and nation,” the GOP state lawmaker said in an open letter to Donald Trump.

Trump resoundingly defeated Vice President Kamala Harris, a former California prosecutor, in the battle for the nation’s top job. Newsom has become a foil for Trump over the years, and he was a prominent advocate for Biden’s — and then Harris’ — campaign.

Gov. Gavin Newsom is heading to Washington, D.C., this week to push for the Biden administration to safeguard some marquee California programs.
