Summary

Following Trump’s re-election, Democratic leaders in blue states are preparing to resist his second-term agenda, focusing on issues like abortion access, immigration, civil rights, and climate action.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a special session to “Trump-proof” the state, while Illinois and Colorado governors launched a coalition to defend state institutions against authoritarianism.

State attorneys general are readying legal challenges, citing a conservative judiciary and a more prepared Trump team.

Democrats also aim to lead grassroots resistance, with activists urging bold state-level protections amid fears of federal overreach.

      That and being named Joe Manchin.
