In a significant move to protect American democracy, governors from Illinois and Colorado have formed a coalition aimed at countering the increasing threats posed by the Trump administration. Led by JB Pritzker and Jared Polis, the group of Democratic governors is mobilizing efforts at the state level to resist autocratic policies and safeguard democratic institutions. This initiative comes in response to concerns about potential challenges facing democracy as Trump prepares for another term. Multiple Democratic leaders express readiness to collaborate and devise strategies to push back against Trump’s administration, emphasizing the critical role of state attorneys general and the need for unified action to defend against what they describe as escalating threats to democracy.
