Democratic Governors Form Coalition to Counter Trump Policies

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Colorado Gov. Jared Polis have launched the Governors Safeguarding Democracy initiative to counter efforts perceived as threats to state institutions and democracy, particularly in light of Donald Trump's reelection campaign. The non-partisan organization aims to protect the rule of law by leveraging collective experience and knowledge, and is reaching out to Republican governors to join. The initiative is privately funded and operates separately from the National Governors Association, focusing on proactive education and support for democratic institutions.
