California Governor Gavin Newsom is currently in Washington, DC, meeting with lawmakers and is set to meet with President Donald Trump to advocate for wildfire disaster aid for his state. The focus is on securing aid for survivors of the Los Angeles fires, ensuring impacted families have the necessary support to rebuild and recover.
Newsom's efforts come as wildfire aid for Los Angeles is expected to be a key issue in the upcoming government funding discussions. The Governor's spokesperson, Brandon Richards, emphasized the importance of providing critical assistance to those who have lost their homes and livelihoods.
Meanwhile, Texas Governor Greg Abbott is also in DC and is scheduled to meet with President Trump. Abbott recently discussed immigration enforcement strategies with Tom Homan, Trump's border czar.
President Trump is anticipated to sign an executive action today that prohibits transgender women from participating in women's sports. Abbott, who previously signed a state law banning trans athletes in college sports in 2023, expressed his support for Trump's action, stating that it aims to protect women's sports nationwide.
