Governor Newsom statement on the inauguration of President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance
LOS ANGELES - Governor Gavin Newsom issued the following statement today on the inauguration of President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance:
"As our nation observes the peaceful transfer of power, we are reminded of the enduring principles that underpin our democracy: finding common ground and striving toward shared goals.
"In the face of one of the worst natural disasters in America's history, this moment underscores the critical need for partnership, a shared commitment to facts, and mutual respect - values that enable civil discourse, effective governance, and meaningful action. I look forward to President Trump's visit to Los Angeles and his mobilization of the full weight of the federal government to help our fellow Americans recover and rebuild.
"Where our shared principles are aligned, my administration stands ready to work with the Trump-Vance administration to deliver solutions and serve the nearly 40 million Californians we jointly represent."
