California 'will seek to work with the incoming president,' governor says
In a statement released moments after Vice President Kamala Harris' concession speech, California Gov. Gavin Newsom said the state would "seek to work with" former President Donald Trump.
"California will seek to work with the incoming president -- but let there be no mistake, we intend to stand with states across our nation to defend our Constitution and uphold the rule of law," Newsom said.
Newsom applauded Harris, who he said "set out to fight to defend our fundamental freedoms and build a country that works for everyone."
"She stood up for working families, decency, and opportunity," he said. "Though this is not the outcome we wanted, our fight for freedom and opportunity endures."
