California Gov. Gavin Newsom On Election: Donald Trump Better Remember This Is The “United STATES Of America”

deadline.com:

Gavin Newsom wants the newly reelected Donald Trump to know California has a line, and the former president better think twice about crossing it when he returns to the White House next year.

Waiting until Vice President Kamala Harris delivered her concession speech this afternoon in Washington DC, the Governor praised his longtime political ally and, at the same time, gave the newly minted president-elect a warning. “Vice President Kamala Harris set out to fight to defend our fundamental freedoms and build a country that works for everyone,” Newsom said Wednesday of Harris and her short lived campaign for the White House. “She stood up for working families, decency, and opportunity.

Though this is not the outcome we wanted, our fight for freedom and opportunity endures.” Having found an uneasy balance with Trump during the former Celebrity Apprentice host’s chaotic first term, Newsom took a carrot and stick approach to the soon to be 47th POTUS today “California will seek to work with the incoming president — but let there be no mistake, we intend to stand with states across our nation to defend our Constitution and uphold the rule of law,” the Governor, who was married to Don.

Jr’s current fiancée Kimberly Ann Guilfoyle when he was Mayor of San Francisco, insisted. Again a leading contender for the 2028 presidential nomination now that Harris has been defeated, Newsom has long proclaimed that he will protect reproductive rights in the Golden State, immigrants and LGBTQ+ rights from Trump and his Project 2025 pals.
