Blue state governor summons legislature in response to Trump win: ‘Ready to fight’ [Video]

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Thursday he is calling an emergency special session to bolster the blue state’s legal response to any future attacks from the incoming Trump administration.

The special session will focus on safeguarding “civil rights, reproductive freedom, climate action, and immigrant families,” Newsom’s office said in a press release.

His action comes just a day after Newsom said he “will seek to work with the incoming president.”
