Democrats Mobilize Nationwide to Counter Trump's Policies
Democratic leaders across the U.S. are mobilizing to resist Donald Trump's second-term agenda, focusing on safeguarding state-level institutions and values. Governors like California's Gavin Newsom and Illinois' JB Pritzker are preparing legal and legislative strategies to counter potential federal overreach on issues such as immigration, reproductive rights, and environmental regulations. With Democrats out of power in Washington, blue state leaders are seen as crucial in opposing Trump's policies, while also positioning themselves for future political opportunities. The resistance includes forming coalitions and updating strategies to address anticipated challenges from a more prepared Trump administration.
