Look-ahead of Trump’s second presidency, CA and LA races recap
Listen now
Description
President-elect Donald Trump appears to be on track to win all seven battleground states and is ahead in the popular vote. The GOP has also won the Senate, and could keep control of the House.  The Supreme Court’s ruling that past and future presidents are immune from prosecution for official acts could give President-elect Trump wide latitude to wield power. In California, high-profile ballot initiatives passed, like re-criminalizing some theft and drug offenses, and enshrining marriage equality in the state constitution.  LA County voters ousted progressive District Attorney George Gascón and approved Measure A. Kevin de León is likely to lose his City Council seat.
