In this Nov. 17, 2018, file photo, President Donald Trump talks with California Gov.-elect Gavin Newsom during a visit to a neighborhood destroyed by the wildfires in Paradise, Calif. California has long used its status as the nation's most populous state (nearly 40 million people) and the world's fifth-largest economy (about $3 trillion) to pass trend-setting policies. But that role has crystallized in the Trump era, with California Democrats positioning the state as the nation's defense system against rollbacks of environmental and health care laws and the federal crackdown on illegal immigration, among other issues. First-year Gov. Gavin Newsom relishes his role as a Trump adversary and the leader of a state that does things before others. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci, File)
