Although Trump made closing U.S. borders a central promise of his campaign, his economic message hit home with Latinos. More Hispanics saw inflation as the most important concern last fall than white voters, AP VoteCast showed. That lesson has been taken to heart in this year’s campaign, with strategists, unions, organizers and politicians
that allows him to mobilize federal service members when there is “a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States.” The president also agreed with one of his top advisers that maybe the governor should be arrested.Here’s a look at back-and-forth between Trump and Newsom in their own words:
“You have violent people, and we’re not gonna let them get away with it.” — Trump, Sunday, in remarks to reporters in Morristown, New Jersey.Newsom’s ire has been elevated over Trump’s decision to, without his support, call up the California National Guard for deployment into his state. In aSunday, Newsom called on Trump to rescind the Guard deployment, calling it a “serious breach of state sovereignty.”
The governor, who was in Los Angeles meeting with local law enforcement and other officials, also told protesters they were playing into Trump’s plans and would face arrest for violence or property destruction.“Trump wants chaos and he’s instigated violence,” he said. “Stay peaceful. Stay focused. Don’t give him the excuse he’s looking for.”
, Newsom said Sunday he had spoken with Trump “late Friday night,” after the protests had begun, but said deploying the National Guard “never came up.”
“We talked for almost 20 minutes, and he — barely, this issue never came up. I mean, I kept trying to talk about LA, he wanted to talk about all these other issues,” Newsom said. “We had a very decent conversation.”Tennessee Republican Gov. Bill Lee’s administration has stood by CoreCivic.
However, the Republican-led Legislature this year showed its concern by unanimously passing a bill that would move 10% of inmates out of a private prison each time the annual death rate is twice as high as a comparable state-run facility. Lee signed the legislation. Department of Correction spokesperson Sarah Gallagher said the agency is developing a procedure to calculate and report the death rate for 2025 under the new law.The legislation was spurred by the advocacy of Tim Leeper, a roofing businessman who has attended the same local Rotary Club as the two Republicans who ultimately sponsored the bill, Rep. Clark Boyd and Sen. Mark Pody. Leeper’s son Kylan was an inmate at Trousdale when he died of a fentanyl overdose. His family has sued CoreCivic over his death.
