Walters: Newsom uses publicity stunt to grab anti-Trump spotlight

Two days after the nation’s voters gave Donald Trump another term as president, Gov. Gavin Newsom staged a publicity stunt to position California — and presumably himself — as the epicenter of resistance.

Newsom called a special session of the Legislature, to run concurrently with the regular legislative session that begins in December, “to safeguard California values and fundamental rights in the face of an incoming Trump administration,” his office declared Thursday in a press release.
