California governor shows unexpected shift in approach to future Trump presidency
After Trumpʼs victory announcement Californiaʼs top official starts preparing for possible legal confrontations. Later his tone changes as he speaks about finding common ground with future administration
In response to Trumps election win Gavin Newsom jumped into action with a defensive game-plan calling for an extra legislative meet-up to shield California from possible federal push-back. The governor quickly made his way to DC for a sit-down with President Biden to work-out strategies about immigration rules and disaster-fund protection
A few weeks down the line however‚ Newsom showed a different side during his podcast show: his stance shifted towards finding middle-ground. “We need to look at whats working and focus on basic governing principles“ he stated while giving props to the president-elect for being direct about national issues
We have to acknowledge when someone makes valid points about our countrys challenges
The California leaders quick change from fight-mode to bridge-building shows how fast political winds can shift in todays ever-changing landscape (even among those who seemed ready for a long-term stand-off)
