Washington- California -President Trump’s self -proclaimed liberal resistance to Policy -Trump has long been an oversized voice in national politics.
But now that Republican members have returned to the White House, many of the Democrats in Congress are preparing for another battle. A polarized capital that secures funding for a robust mountain fire, protects the policy of former President Biden, and moves a wide range of social and financial ambitions of the party.
“It’s difficult, but it’s still possible, and it’s necessary,” said Senator Alex Padira. One of his first major bipartis legislation after joining the Senate four years ago was to partner with Senator John Comin (R-Texas). After the ice storm destroyed the Texas belt, the efforts were ultimately providing billions of dollars to fix the electric grid of the country. Padira said he drew based on his experience as chairman of the state council on energy.
“I was able to talk with some of these issues with some knowledge, and we made progress, right? Padira was an interview at the Senate Office earlier this month, which I would like to take over. It was like a model about many things, “Certainly, the seniority is useful. I think it will return to relationships and knowledge.”
Nevertheless, porter lunch residents have acknowledged that he will be concerned for the next few years.
“My biggest dissatisfaction is that many of my Republican colleagues told me the right thing behind a closed room about dreamers and farm workers, but I’m going to say publicly. There was no, “Padira said, and he added that he was. I am skeptical about Trump’s recent statements on young people who have been brought to the country without legal approval. “I have to be open on the other hand, because I borrow it in a” dreamer “and borrow it from my member, so never give up. “
Padyja was appointed as Vice President in 2020 and was appointed Senate. In just four years, he symbolizes the influence of the decline of the nation in the country’s capital.
For decades, California had shaken in both councils. Later, Senator Barbara Boxer retired and Senator Dian Fine Stein died. San Francisco’s Democratic Party Nancy Pelos and the Republican Kevin McCarthy of the Bakersfield are no longer house speakers.

He praised California’s Ati. Democratic member Rob Bonta played the forefront and center when opposed to the Trump administration’s immigration policy rollback. However, Kanna also acknowledged his limitations to suppress the Trump administration’s policy goals in Congress.
According to the California parliamentary representative, “How many of these ideas are in order to publish what is happening as much as possible and what is happening. I know. “
Many of the California delegation’s attention has been consumed by Los Angeles’s mountain fire and disaster response. Kanna is planning to introduce a law that has been selected as D-AGUA DULCE, a newly elected member of D-AGUA DULCE. Padilla has recently supported the salaries of federal wildlife and introduced a package of a bill to create affordable housing from temporary disaster shelters.

Currently, more than 30 federal agencies are involved, causing fragmentation and delay, Jacobs said last year after flooding of $ 90 million in San Diego.

However, even disaster assistance is suffering from Washington’s politics. Along with the Democratic California Democratic colleagues, the Livas, including areas burned by the Hearst Fire, is a house speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA.) And Trump’s suggestions for the federal wildfire assistance. I’m frankly saying that there are no conditions. 。 Trump stated that he had pushed other parts of his political policy agenda “easy” due to the Southern California fire, but when he visited the area on Friday, he said: “To do this really good. We have to cooperate. “
“The Republican members are trying to use them as a way to get something else that has nothing to do with this disaster,” Livas said. “And all of us are unified in it, so we try to prevent it from happening.”
Many of the Democratic members selected in California, selected in Washington, are currently working on deep polarized parliament, spending many political careers in the Democratic Party, such as the state Congress.
Representative Dave Min (D-IRvine) has been used to the transition from a large number of states to the minority of the House of Representatives after Katie Porter, an orange counting seat, has left for the U.S. Senometric House of Representatives. Masu.
“I didn’t ponder the winning universe, but we were not a majority,” Minn said.
California Congress Pete Aguilal (D Redland) and Ted Lew (D Torance) are the chairs and vice -chair of the House of Representatives Democratic Party, respectively. However, without a California’s normal democratic heavyweight executives, the state representative is fighting for influence. The Republican Party also holds power in all parliamentarians.
“What can we do in this environment that controls our Caucas, especially my conversation with Democratic colleagues, especially new students?” “As you know, you can’t introduce a bill to go anywhere.”
Even if his law did not succeed, Min said that Min would continue to push his message -he should not include the California’s federal aid for the California’s mountain fire, as in recent fixes. I suggested.
He adapted to a long day and said that while he was tired of traveling between California and Washington, he was reaching out to a Republican colleague on the other side of the aisle. He said a recent new member retreat held in Williamsberg, Virginia, and said he was already a friend.
“I know there is a good person on the side of the aisle. They have a lot of pressure to vote for Maga Donald Trump,” he said. “But at one point, hope is that if we continue to be the conscious consciousness of Congress, some of them may come off.”
Others are used to the polarization of Washington.
Adam Chiff, a member of the California Senator, who was appointed in December, is optimistic that the Senate is more cooperative and similar to what the house is before the Trump era. He stated that he had a close relationship with Representative John Calverson (R-Texas) as a representative of Barbank.
“The Houston Space Center was part of his history. I had a JPL. We were very inseparable for NASA, space funding and priority,” said Shif. “We didn’t talk about abortion and didn’t talk about guns. I didn’t talk about splitting us … And my senses were already in the House of Representatives for a month. The opportunity to form these kinds of partnerships is far widespread.
Nevertheless, the selected leader acknowledged uncertainty.
“I am encouraged,” Padira said. “But we just understand through this new parliamentary dynamics, the majority of the lower house and the Senate, and President Trump.”
