Gavin Newsom urged Vice President JD Vance to meet with wildfire victims during his trip to Los Angeles on Friday.

In a video posted midday on X, the California governor indicated that the vice president should also speak with President Donald Trump about securing disaster aid for those who need it in the state. The call came amid heightened tensions between the governor and POTUS as they continue their legal battle over sending the National Guard to L.A. to quell protests related to increased ICE raids in the city.
