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.
