California Gov. Gavin Newsom has long been a leading adversary and target of President Donald Trump. But the governor, in need of federal help, is working with the White House.

During an Oval Office meeting with President Trump on Wednesday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom spoke on the critical need for federal assistance as Southern California recovers from a series of devastating wildfires in January.

This president, who is obsessed with blustering about his “promises made, promises kept,” openly vowed during his closing pitch to the American electorate in 2024 that he’d threaten California’s wildfire aid, if he returned to power.
