California Gov. Gavin Newsom to deliver final State of the State address

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is set to deliver his final State of the State address to lawmakers in Sacramento on Thursday. His speech comes a day after California marked a year since the destructive Los Angeles-area fires broke out. It also comes after a year in which Newsom has sparred with President Donald Trump over everything from the Republican's deployment of National Guard troops in L.A. to the federal government’s blocking of California’s first-in-the-nation vehicle-emission rules. This is the first year since 2022 that Newsom is delivering an in-person speech before state lawmakers for his State of the State.
