Stakes are high for Newsom and California when Trump visits L.A. wildfires
Briefly

California's Governor Gavin Newsom and President Trump have had a unique relationship marked by conflict and collaboration. As California faces wildfire crises, Trump’s upcoming visit serves as a critical test of their ability to set aside partisanship and work together. The interactions during this visit might highlight their respective leadership qualities, impacting Newsom's reputation and Trump's image as a supportive president. Political experts suggest past crises have shown moments of unity, and this may provide a 'political script' for both men to follow to achieve mutual gains.
History shows they've acted as statesmen in times of crisis before and temporarily paused their jousts on social media and in the courts.
We're going to learn with this week's visit whether Donald Trump and Gavin Newsom will treat each other as the president of the United States and the governor of California.
