The California state government is prepared to counter "unlawful actions" by Republican Donald Trump if he takes office as US President, states California Governor and Democratic Party representative Gavin Newsom on Twitter (X).
"California is ready to fight. I just called an emergency special session to help bolster our legal resources and protect our state against any unlawful actions by the incoming Trump Administration," Newsom wrote.
According to him, the state government is prepared to oppose the Trump administration on several critical issues, from fundamental civil rights and reproductive freedom to combating climate change.
"We refuse to turn back the clock and allow our values and laws to be attacked," the California governor emphasized.
