Gavin Newsom’s position carries both risks and rewards for a governor considering a 2028 run for the White House
Trump orders 700 Marines and 2,000 more National Guard troops to quell Los Angeles unrest
California Governor Gavin Newsom resisted a fight with President Donald Trump over transgender youth in women’s sports. He forced his way onto a runway tarmac to make peace with the Republican leader after the Los Angeles wildfires.
Just last week, he hesitated before speaking out when rumours swirled about a massive federal funding cut to California.
Newsom’s restraint ended when Trump usurped the governor’s authority over the weekend by deploying the California National Guard to the streets of Los Angeles to quell protests against immigration raids.
