Trump is set to visit California on Friday, and the state’s governor will need to convince the president and congressional Republicans to provide aid to help rebuild Los Angeles.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, one of President-elect Donald Trump's top political adversaries, has shifted his focus in recent days from gearing up for legal battles against the incoming Republican administration to prioritizing the state’s response to destructive wildfires around Los Angeles.

Gov. Gavin Newsom will sign legislation Thursday providing $2.5 billion in funding to relief efforts in Los Angeles County, where two massive wildfires killed 28 people and left behind a trail of destruction this month.
