Governors Safeguarding Democracy

A group of Democratic governors, led by Colorado's Jared Polis, is forming a nonpartisan organization called Governors Safeguarding Democracy to protect state interests against potential federal overreach by President Trump. This initiative aims to uphold the integrity of democratic institutions, such as election laws and the independence of the judiciary, in light of Trump's unpredictable policy direction. Polis emphasizes the importance of maintaining state autonomy within the federalist system, particularly concerning issues like immigration and trade, where state governments often have less control. By fostering cooperation among states, the governors hope to create a united front that safeguards democracy at the state level.
