Gov. Gavin Newsom faces what may be his greatest political test and leadership challenge. He planned to greet President Trump upon his arrival in Southern California on Friday.

Altadena, California, was among Los Angeles County's first Black middle-class enclaves. Some fear recent wildfires may have erased that legacy.

Newsom is facing sharp criticism over the wildfires that have devastated Los Angeles. Newsweek writers decide if he should face a recall.

Newsom is disconnected from the everyday Californian,” Epi Cruz, who watched his Altadena home be reduced to ashes, told The Post.

California Governor Gavin Newsom greeted President Donald Trump at LAX on January 24, 2025, after he arrived to assess the wildfire situation.

The order targets opportunistic real estate speculators who make unsolicited cash offers well below market value in attempts to exploit victims of the Los Angeles-area fires.

The chances of flash flooding are not high according to forecasts, but city crews are reinforcing roads and telling residents to take warnings seriously.

Gov. Gavin Newsom said firefighters from Mexico were en route to help fight the Eaton Fire. The Eaton Fire is one of several still burning and devastating the Los Angeles area. The fire was first reported Tuesday, Jan. 7, near Altadena and Midwick drives.

The Trump administration apparently opted not to coordinate at all with Gov. Newsom while planning the president’s visit to fire-ravaged Los Angeles today. Just how awkward will this be?

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.

Trump and Newsom set aside their usual bitterness and say they will figure out how to work together on the region’s recovery.
