California Gov. Gavin Newsom is calling for a special legislative session to “Trump-proof” the liberal state’s policies against Donald Trump’s impending presidency — even after voters made a massive shift to the right on Election Day.
Golden State Republicans quickly blasted the move.
““This special session is a shameless political stunt. The only ‘problem’ it will solve is Gavin Newsom’s insecurity that not enough people are paying attention to him,” the California state Assembly’s Republican leader James Gallagher said after the governor’s proclamation.
Newsom’s gensture is similar to announcements by New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and state Attorney General Letita James on Wednesday that they will organize their offices to work against Trump policies in the wake of his reelection.
