Illinois and Colorado Governors Join Forces to Fight Against Trump Policies
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and Colorado Governor Jared Polis are leading a coalition of Democratic-led states to resist incoming President Donald Trump’s conservative policies. The Governors Safeguarding Democracy group aims to protect democracy and push back against Trump’s plans, including investigations into political foes and deportation efforts.
Despite efforts from Democratic-led states in the past, Trump has been able to implement his conservative agenda. The new coalition hopes to make a difference, with members like California Governor Gavin Newsom and Washington state’s Governor-elect Bob Ferguson also taking action against Trump’s policies.
It remains to be seen how successful this coalition will be, but they are determined to work together and protect fundamental freedoms. With the support of attorneys general and other officials, the Governors Safeguarding Democracy group is taking a stand against Trump’s policies.
