Dem governor hopefuls vow to resist Trump as California chaos becomes NJ campaign issue

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The chaos unfolding in California seeped onto the New Jersey campaign trail Tuesday as Democratic gubernatorial candidates pitched their plan to resist President Donald Trump.
Tuesday is primary Election Day in the Garden State, and the race to replace Gov. Phil Murphy is on. Murphy, who is term-limited this year, is one of several Democratic governors leading blue-state resistance to Trump’s second term and his flurry of executive actions.
Two candidates vying for an opportunity to fill Murphy’s shoes – Rep. Mikie Sherrill and Rep. Josh Gottheimer, both U.S. representatives from New Jersey – defended California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s response to the protests and riots impeding U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in Los Angeles.
When asked how she would handle the ongoing situation in Los Angeles differently from Newsom, Sherrill touted her military and law enforcement background and told Fox News Digital she would stand up «strongly in favor of keeping people here in the state safe,» return safety to the streets and continue «speaking out against a president who is trying to create violence in the country.»

Sherrill is a U.S. Navy veteran and served in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New Jersey as an outreach and re-entry coordinator, which she described as prosecuting federal cases and advising law enforcement on investigations.

Trump said this weekend it would be a «great thing» if Newsom was arrested. After casting her ballot in Montclair on Tuesday morning, Sherrill called Trump’s comments «ridiculous.»
«It should concern everyone,» Sherrill said.
The Trump administration has ordered National Guardsmen and Marines to Los Angeles following days of escalating anti-ICE protests and riots.
«Governor Newsom surged law enforcement in, and what Trump seems to be doing is trying to add fuel to the fire and really make the situation violent and bad,» Sherrill told reporters. «That’s completely unacceptable.»

Also in the Garden State on Tuesday afternoon, Gottheimer said it was «outrageous» for Trump to send the National Guard to California without Newsom’s request.
«The fact that the president, for the first time since 1965, sent troops in from the National Guard without a request from the governor is outrageous. It’s just more chaos that we’re used to having in this administration. It’s not how I would approach this,» Gottheimer told Fox News Digital after voting in Tenafly.
The last time a sitting U.S. president used his federal authority to deploy the National Guard without the governor’s request was during the civil rights march from Selma to Montgomery in 1965.
Gottheimer said his primary focus is on protecting New Jersey families, and that priority would guide his leadership through any situation if elected governor.

Both candidates on Tuesday said they were best positioned to take on Trump. While Sherrill said she is the candidate willing to resist the status quo, Gottheimer pitched himself as the «tenacious» leader to actually beat the Republican nominee this fall.
In addition to Sherrill and Gottheimer, Democratic gubernatorial candidates for New Jersey include Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop, New Jersey Education Association President Sean Spiller and former state Senate President Steve Sweeney.
Baraka was arrested for trespassing at an ICE facility in Newark this year, another example of Trump’s immigration policies taking center stage in the New Jersey governor’s race.

Last week, Baraka filed a lawsuit against Alina Habba, U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey, and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Agent Ricky Patel «for false arrest, malicious prosecution, and defamation.»
And Spiller said on X the situation in LA is «not normal» and vowed to stand up for New Jersey against Trump and his «tactics that are real threats» if elected governor.

«From ICE tearing apart families to the President sending out the National Guard – over the objection of the Governor – and now apparently contemplating deploying Marines on our people – we have to stand up in solidarity and defend our democracy,» Spiller said.

Trump threatens ‘consequences’ after 6 House Republicans voted to reverse his Canada tariffs

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump is threatening to back election challengers against the six House Republicans who joined Democrats in voting to reverse his tariffs on Canada.
The president sent out an ominous warning to GOP lawmakers in the House and Senate just before his agenda suffered a blow on Capitol Hill Wednesday evening.
«Any Republican, in the House or the Senate, that votes against TARIFFS will seriously suffer the consequences come Election time, and that includes Primaries!» Trump posted on Truth Social.
He argued that the trade deficit was reduced significantly while U.S. financial markets hit significant high points because of his tariff policies.

«In addition, TARIFFS have given us Great National Security because the mere mention of the word has Countries agreeing to our strongest wishes,» Trump continued.
«TARIFFS have given us Economic and National Security, and no Republican should be responsible for destroying this privilege.»
Democrats successfully got a vote on a measure to reverse Trump’s national emergency at the northern border using a mechanism for forcing votes over the objections of House majority leadership called a privileged resolution.
TRUMP’S SIGNATURE TARIFFS HANG ON KEY QUESTION ABOUT CONGRESS’ POWER BEFORE SUPREME COURT
The six Republicans who voted in favor of the measure were Reps. Dan Newhouse, R-Wash.; Kevin Kiley, R-Calif.; Don Bacon, R-Neb.; Jeff Hurd, R-Colo.; and Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa.
One Democrat, Rep. Jared Golden, D-Maine, voted with the majority of Republicans on the matter. It passed 219-211.

It’s not clear how much impact Trump’s threat will have, however.
Neither Newhouse nor Bacon is running for re-election in the 2026 midterms, and Trump is already endorsing a primary challenger against Massie.
Kiley, whose district was heavily altered by California Democrats’ new congressional map, has not yet said whether he will run for re-election or where he will do it.
He told Fox News Digital when asked for a response to Trump, «This was a resolution regarding the emergency declared by the president over fentanyl from Canada. Congress has an obligation under the National Emergencies Act to evaluate every six months if the emergency still exists. Canada has now significantly cracked down on fentanyl, so there’s no basis to extend the emergency another six months.»
Fitzpatrick and Hurd are both well-liked incumbents in their districts, which are top targets for Democrats come November.
Hurd told Fox News Digital his constituents were «directly affected by these policies.»
«Today’s vote is grounded first and foremost in the Constitution. Article I gives Congress the authority to regulate commerce with foreign nations and to levy tariffs. Over time, Congress has delegated limited authority to the executive branch, particularly in matters involving national emergencies. But those delegations were never intended to serve as a permanent vehicle for sweeping, long-term trade policy,» he added.
«If we normalize broad emergency trade powers today, we should expect that a future president — of either party — will rely on the same authority in ways many of us would strongly oppose. Institutional consistency matters. The Constitution does not shift depending on who occupies the White House. My responsibility is to defend the separation of powers regardless of political convenience.»
Trump signed an executive order in February 2025, enacting an additional 25% tariff on most goods from Canada and Mexico. Energy from Canada was subject to an additional 15% tariff.

At the time, the White House said it was punishment for those countries’ unwillingness to do more to stop the flow of illegal immigrants and illicit drugs into the U.S.
Opponents of Trump’s tariff strategy have criticized his moves against Canada in particular, arguing it was unjustly harming one of the closest allies and trading partners of the U.S. to the detriment of Americans.
But Republicans who voted against the legislation pointed out that Trump said the fentanyl crisis was the reason for issuing the emergency in the first place, adding the drug was still killing Americans.
The legislation now heads to the Senate, where Republicans have voted to rebuke Trump’s tariff strategy in the past despite similar warnings from the president.

El avance de China en Guatemala

Además de Huawei, se informa que la República Popular China ha aprovechado la presencia de su observador en el Parlamento Centroamericano (PARLACEN), con sede en Ciudad de Guatemala, para facilitar las visitas regulares de su embajador en Costa Rica a Guatemala y así interactuar con políticos, funcionarios locales y empresarios costarricenses, incluyendo viajes pagados a China. Según informes, dicho viaje en 2025 incluyó a Luis Aguirre de CABAL, Cristian Álvarez y José Pablo Mendoza de Creo, Luis Rodríguez de VAMOS y Cornelio García de TODOS, entre otros. Según quienes monitorean estos asuntos en Guatemala, se está considerando otro viaje similar para el primer semestre de 2026.
Además de los viajes a la República Popular China, los agentes del país también han llevado a congresistas guatemaltecos al Parlamento de América Latina y el Caribe (PARLATINO), con influencia de la República Popular China, entre ellos Andrea Villagrán de Semilla y Duay Martínez de Vamos. La República Popular de China también ha recurrido a grupos de presión para forjar relaciones con funcionarios guatemaltecos, como Lina Chen, quien se reunió en septiembre de 2025 con el presidente de la Asamblea Legislativa guatemalteca, Neri Ramos, entre otros.
Además del PARLACEN, se informa que la República Popular de China también está intentando, con menos éxito, obtener representación en el Sistema de la Integración Centroamericana (SICA) y el Banco de Integración Centroamericana (BCIE).
En el ámbito comercial, la importación de productos chinos se ha convertido en un negocio lucrativo para importadores guatemaltecos como Cofiño Stahl, Grupo de los Tres, Grupo Q y Siekavizza en los sectores automotriz y de motocicletas. Grandes puntos de venta de productos chinos, como China Mall, China City y China Depot, se han expandido significativamente en el país, perjudicando a las tiendas minoristas y productores locales. El empresario guatemalteco Luis Pedro Barnoya, importador de productos chinos de nivel medio y organizador de viajes de negocios a la República Popular de China, ha establecido un pequeño consejo para promover dichas actividades. Las actividades semiencubiertas de facilitación comercial de la República Popular China en la Ciudad de Guatemala son objeto de chismes públicos, incluyendo su organización de promoción comercial, CCPIT, que durante un tiempo celebró reuniones en el hotel Barceló, y su uso del restaurante Tamarindo en la Quinta Avenida para organizar reuniones con ejecutivos visitantes de la República Popular China.
En el sector de las telecomunicaciones, además de las iniciativas ya mencionadas de Huawei, los dispositivos de la compañía, así como los de ZTE, se ofrecen a través de los dos principales proveedores de telecomunicaciones, Claro y Tigo. Las empresas chinas Xiaomi y Honor también tienen presencia en el país.
La empresa Hytera, con sede en Shenzhen, condenada por robo de propiedad intelectual de Motorola, habría suministrado radios digitales a las fuerzas de seguridad guatemaltecas.
En el sector de la seguridad, una importante compra de 1000 vehículos Isuzu de fabricación china para la policía guatemalteca, bajo la dirección del primer ministro del Interior del presidente Arévalo, Francisco Jiménez, fue cancelada debido a preocupaciones sobre corrupción. Se informa que operadores portuarios privados del país, como APM y Chiquita Brands, utilizan grúas, escáneres y otros equipos digitales de la marca ZPMC china. Hikvision, empresa china de equipos de vigilancia, desempeña un papel importante en el mercado guatemalteco de seguridad comercial y personal. Durante administraciones anteriores, empresas chinas intentaron, sin éxito, adquirir terrenos tanto en el Atlántico como en el Pacífico para construir instalaciones portuarias.

En el ámbito delictivo, empresarios chinos también han estado involucrados en lavado de dinero y otras actividades ilícitas. Entre ellos se encuentra Wenshen “Alex” Xu, quien fue arrestado en julio de 2025 por importar precursores químicos para drogas sintéticas a través de Guatemala y extraditado a Estados Unidos.
En el ámbito periodístico, personas como Claudia Méndez, de Con Criterio, y el reconocido bloguero Ben Kei Chin, han sido llevadas por agentes chinos a la República Popular China y a otros destinos en múltiples ocasiones y se han convertido en reconocidos defensores públicos del cambio en las relaciones diplomáticas del país.
A medida que la República Popular China y sus agentes han avanzado en Guatemala, Taiwán ha buscado proteger al país contra tales esfuerzos, siendo un buen socio en múltiples ámbitos, como la seguridad, el desarrollo, la educación y el comercio. En agosto de 2025, Taiwán donó 252 motocicletas a la policía guatemalteca y 50 vehículos al Ministerio de Desarrollo Social (MDS) de Guatemala. También construyó un hospital en Chimaltenango, inaugurado en febrero de 2023, y un centro neonatal en San Juan de Dios, Ciudad de Guatemala, en abril de 2024. Taiwán también financia y supervisa regularmente proyectos de infraestructura de transporte guatemaltecos, en particular las mejoras a una carretera que conecta Ciudad de Guatemala con la costa atlántica del país. En educación, Taiwán ha otorgado 600 becas en las últimas dos décadas, incluyendo 66 tan solo en 2025.
En comercio, en las últimas tres décadas, Taiwán ha importado aproximadamente mil millones de dólares en productos guatemaltecos, incluyendo 90 millones de dólares en azúcar guatemalteca tan solo el año pasado, así como café y otros productos.
A pesar de estas actividades, Taiwán tiene un perfil relativamente bajo entre los guatemaltecos como un importante proveedor de beneficios para el país. Algunos consultados para este trabajo expresaron su frustración por la falta de proyectos de mayor visibilidad en Taiwán, como un estadio. Si bien las empresas taiwanesas Lakymen y Diforza son importantes empleadores en Guatemala, algunos consultados para este trabajo perciben que las empresas taiwanesas podrían invertir más en el país para generar empleos de alta calidad.
Si bien algunos miembros del gobierno guatemalteco, según se informa, simpatizan ideológicamente con el establecimiento de relaciones con la República Popular China, prácticamente todos los consultados para este trabajo creían que el presidente Arévalo no abandonará a Taiwán. Sin embargo, los guatemaltecos entrevistados para este trabajo ya están concentrados en las próximas elecciones nacionales de julio de 2027. La República Popular China ha cortejado a líderes de prácticamente todos sus principales partidos. Quien prevalezca podría calcular que los beneficios materiales de abandonar a Taiwán superan los riesgos de ofender a Estados Unidos. Washington y Taipéi, sin duda, seguirán de cerca esta posibilidad.
