President Trump will venture into deep-blue California on Friday for a closely-watched visit that could determine disaster aid for the state and how Trump will work with Democratic governors throughout his four years in office.
Trump’s trip to fire-ravaged Los Angeles comes after he traded barbs with California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D). The president will also make trips to North Carolina, which was hit hard by Hurricane Helene, and to Nevada, two states he won in November.
The trip to Los Angeles also marks a big moment for Newsom, who has been floated as a potential 2028 contender but who has also come under intense scrutiny for the state response to the fire.
Congress will likely have to consider disaster aid for California ahead of the fast-approaching March 14 government funding deadline. A number of top Republicans, including Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) have called for conditions to be put on federal aid to the state. Last week, Trump floated tying the aid to a future reconciliation bill.

I’m sure DJT will make it interesting
Pivotal?
Yeah right.
Yeah his political future depends on California. /sarc
After the LA fires, Gov. Greaseball’s POTUS hopes floated into the Pacific Ocean, along with the Delta smelt and the trillions of gallons of fresh water he has intentionally wasted.
That’s a good one and I think correct.
Not mentioned was 50M to Trump proof California.
Non-starter.
s/b "California faces pivotal moment with Trump trip".
It’s California who is going to face a “pivotal moment” once President Trump gets there.
“Da Hill” is run by morons.
Right and Biden was never held to account for NC, I never saw a pivotal moment for Biden from the LSM. I did not see NC dedicate 50M to stop Biden’s polices while at the same time demanding more money so they can hurt even more of his programs.
We really can not hate the LSM enough!
Pivotal for California, maybe. It would be wise for them to decide to rejoin the human race for awhile.
Yes! it’s an upside down world (to them)
For a long time, Newsom calculatedly ran Cali as his
fifedom, w/ his ambitious eye on the priza, the WH.
Now that he’s getting blamed for the wildfire inferno his plans are
fading into oblivion; he’s a desperate man, going nowhere.......fast.
"[Newsome] has also come under intense scrutiny fire for the state response to the fire.
. . ;)
It’s been decades since anything “pivotal” on the national scene happened in California.
If CA is so blue, why does Deep State have to deal its elections?
Case in point....
Mayor’s Race Results: Karen Bass Declared Winner Over Rick Caruso
...The contest was a virtual dead heat on Election Night. Caruso pulled slightly ahead last Thursday, but since then Bass gained a steady lead...
Sound familiar...?
Blue, my derriere.
CA, if you want to save your state, secure your freaking elections.
If you think what's happened already is bad, imagine how worse things will be if The Big One hits and Deep State is still in charge.
Pivotal?
The Hill. They will scramble for something to write about while Trump continues to steamroll through fixing everything since before even Woodrow Wilson screwed with this country
They’ll go the way of CNN. Politico is whimpering but they’ll go under as well.
Somehow the American taxpayers outside of California will be paying for this. The government loves having the taxpayers subsidize stupidity.
