Following the November elections, Democratic leaders are preparing to challenge Donald Trump’s second-term agenda.

Governors like Gavin Newsom of California and Bob Ferguson of Washington are spearheading efforts to protect state rights, with California planning a special session to safeguard values like civil rights and abortion access.

Other Democratic governors, such as JB Pritzker of Illinois and Jared Polis of Colorado, are forming coalitions to resist potential threats from a Trump administration.

These leaders are focused on preventing actions like mass deportations, the erosion of reproductive rights, and environmental rollbacks, The Guardian has reported.

With a more conservative judiciary and a likely stronger Trump administration, Democratic states are preparing legal and political strategies to counteract federal overreach.
