CALIFORNIA, THE LAST BASTION AGAINST TRUMP

An unprecedented showdown in American politics

Synopsis

A few months after Donald Trump's return to the White House, California has become the prime target of his new conservative agenda, which encompasses immigration, universities, the deployment of federal forces, the justice system, and electoral redistricting.

Facing off against Washington, the Democratic-led state under Governor Gavin Newsom is organizing a counterattack. This political and legal showdown highlights two radically opposing visions of America.

With the 2026 midterm elections approaching, this standoff reveals the deep divisions in a country whose unity and democratic institutions are being tested.
