In preparation for a potential second Trump term, governors like Gavin Newsom and Bob Ferguson are mobilizing to protect state rights and democracy against authoritarianism.
Jared Polis emphasized the necessity of collective action, stating, "We need to work together, especially at the state level, to protect and strengthen our democracy..."
Democratic leaders, faced with a unified Republican governance, view state-level officials as key defenders against Trump's potential retributive policies and authoritarian governance.
As the Democratic Party seeks to rebuild, ambitious governors such as Newsom and Pritzker emerge as potential candidates for 2028, reflecting a broader strategy of resilience and strategic positioning.
