California Governor Gavin Newsom invited President-elect Donald Trump to California in a post on social media on Friday afternoon.
Why It Matters
Newsom has been under intense backlash amid the deadly wildfires that have plagued Los Angeles County this week. Trump himself has attacked the Democratic governor on his social media platform, Truth Social, calling for him to resign.
On Friday, Newsom asked for a review concerning the loss of water pressure affecting fire hydrants in Los Angeles County.
What People Are Saying
California Governor Gavin Newsom, on X, formerly Twitter: ".@realDonaldTrump, as you prepare to assume the presidency once more, I invite you to come to California. The hundreds of thousands of Americans – displaced from their homes and fearful for the future – deserve to see us all working together in their best interests, not politicizing a human tragedy and spreading disinformation from the sidelines."
