Former governors
We haven’t seen conditions like these since 2020.
We are talking about emergency measures to respond to what's happening in Texas – and we will nullify what happens in Texas.
What's happening in the United States of America is not normal. We cannot allow this to be considered normal.
We’re not Brown, we’re not Columbia, and I’m not going to be governor if we act like that. Period. Full stop. I will fight like hell to make sure that doesn’t happen.
I’m tired of fighting this fight with my hand tied behind my back.
They want to steal five seats? We’ll match and secure more—and turn the tables on their entire strategy.
If Texas wants to rig the maps, California will make sure they pay a price.
But also at the same time, I would try to work with the president where we could. He’s the president. We need the federal government – there’s a lot of good things he can do for the city.
My knowledge gives me an ability to be in a formidable position as an opponent for the president.

That era is over—Donald Trump eliminated it forever.
I’m tired of fighting this fight with my hand tied behind my back. With all due respect to the good government groups, politics is a political process.
There is no room in the United States for the rest of the world’s terrorist sympathizers, and we are under no obligation to admit them or let them stay here.
I can’t even imagine how the people of New York City feel listening to that, knowing that if he were elected as mayor of New York, that they would have to continue to live with the dangerous criminals that are on their streets terrorizing…
If he were elected, New York City would be a train wreck and those poor families would have nowhere to go for help.
We’ve done so much work there, as ICE and officers and federal law enforcement officers, getting dangerous criminals off the streets of New York — literally hundreds and hundreds of them have been removed already in New York City because…
