  • The decision to allow more athletes to compete in the state track and field championships came amid controversy over a transgender student's participation.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has endorsed a proposed rule change that would prevent former President Donald Trump from appearing on the state's 2024 presidential primary ballot, citing Trump's alleged role in inciting the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. The proposal, put forward by Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis, suggests that Trump's actions disqualify him under the 14th Amendment's insurrection clause. Newsom, while supporting the move, emphasized that the decision should ultimately be made by the courts or through the electoral process, not by state officials. This development comes amidst a broader national debate over Trump's eligibility for future office, with similar efforts underway in other states.
