Trump that look nothing like the liberal \u201cresistance\u201d of 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Gone are the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/01\/18\/fashion\/womens-march-washington-fashion-protest.html\" title=\"\">pink knit caps<\/a> and homemade signs from the huge protest that convulsed blue America that year, as exhausted liberals seem more inclined to tune out Mr. Trump than fight.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Washington is far different, too. The Republicans who stymied some of Mr. Trump\u2019s first-term agenda are now <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/08\/25\/obituaries\/john-mccain-dead.html\" title=\"\">dead<\/a>, retired or Democrats. And the Supreme Court, with three justices appointed by the former president, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/07\/01\/us\/politics\/supreme-court-trump-immunity.html\" title=\"\">has proved how far it will go in bending to his will<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">As they face this tough political landscape, Democratic officials, activists and ambitious politicians are seeking to build their second wave of opposition to Mr. Trump from the places that they still control: deep-blue states.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Democrats envision flexing their power in these states to partly block the Trump administration\u2019s policies \u2014 for example, by refusing to enforce immigration laws \u2014 and to push forward their vision of governance by passing state laws enshrining abortion rights, funding paid leave and putting in place a laundry list of other party priorities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Some of the planning in blue states began in 2023 as a potential backstop if Mr. Trump won, according to multiple Democrats involved in different efforts. The preparations were largely kept quiet to avoid projecting public doubts about Democrats\u2019 ability to win the election.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">\u201cStates in our system have a lot of power \u2014 we\u2019re entrusted with protecting people, and we\u2019re going to do it,\u201d said Keith Ellison, the attorney general of Minnesota, who said his office had been preparing for Mr. Trump\u2019s potential return to power for more than a year. \u201cThey can expect that we\u2019re going to show up every single time when they try to run over the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">The Democratic effort will rely on the work of hundreds of lawyers, who are being recruited to combat Trump administration policies on a range of Democratic priorities. Already, advocacy groups have begun workshopping cases and recruiting potential plaintiffs to challenge expected regulations, laws and administrative actions starting on Day 1.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Democracy Forward, a legal group that formed after Mr. Trump won in 2016, has built a multimillion-dollar war chest and marshaled more than 800 lawyers to press <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/11\/14\/us\/politics\/democracy-forward-trump-administration.html\" title=\"\">a full-throated legal response across a wide range of issues<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">\u201cNo one was running to the courthouse on a range of things that matter to people in communities,\u201d said Skye Perryman, the group\u2019s chief executive, describing the opposition effort during Mr. Trump\u2019s first term. \u201cResistance this time is a lot more about collective power building. It\u2019s using the law and using litigation.\u201d<\/p>\n<div data-testid=\"imageblock-wrapper\">\n<figure class=\"img-sz-medium css-d754w4 e1g7ppur0\" aria-label=\"media\" role=\"group\"><figcaption data-testid=\"photoviewer-children-caption\" class=\"css-gbc9ki ewdxa0s0\"><span class=\"css-jevhma e13ogyst0\">Democracy Forward, led by Skye Perryman, has marshaled more than 800 lawyers to press a full-throated legal response across a wide range of issues.<\/span><span class=\"css-1u46b97 e1z0qqy90\"><span class=\"css-1ly73wi e1tej78p0\">Credit&#8230;<\/span><span><span aria-hidden=\"false\">Shuran Huang for The New York Times<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Staff members hired by the party have also begun digging up dirt on Mr. Trump\u2019s future administration. Researchers at the Democratic National Committee and American Bridge, a prominent Democratic super PAC, are compiling dossiers on the earliest picks for his White House and cabinet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">At the federal level, Democrats will have little ability to pass laws or stop Mr. Trump\u2019s agenda. So much of the focus will be on the party\u2019s 23 governors, many of whom are jockeying to be the face of the next anti-Trump movement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Disagreements over how \u2014 and whether \u2014 to take on Mr. Trump have already emerged. Govs. Gavin Newsom of California and JB Pritzker of Illinois have taken a more confrontational stance, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/11\/07\/us\/newsom-trump-california.html\" title=\"\">mobilizing their Democratic-controlled legislatures<\/a> to gird their states against the future Trump administration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">But others, including Gov. Phil Murphy of New Jersey, have signaled that they will seek areas where they can work with the new administration. Mr. Murphy called Mr. Trump to congratulate him on his victory and plans to attend his inauguration in January. (Mr. Newsom tried to speak with the president-elect this past week, but the call was not returned, he said <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/the-election-is-over\/id1755262381?i=1000676906288\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">on his podcast, Politickin\u2019<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">\u201c<\/strong>It\u2019s a combination of fight where you need to fight, and that includes everything \u2014 legal action, a bullhorn, peaceful protests and civil disobedience,\u201d Mr. Murphy said of his approach. \u201cAnd then at the same time, we can\u2019t close off the opportunity to find common ground.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"live-blog-post-content css-19v2tje eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-7d47d600\">The Democratic fight for influence<\/h2>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Some of the first maneuvering by top Democrats began this past week, when Mr. Pritzker and Gov. Jared Polis of Colorado <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/11\/13\/us\/politics\/democratic-governors-trump.html\" title=\"\">announced the formation<\/a> of a group called Governors Safeguarding Democracy. Its unveiling followed several days of behind-the-scenes drama, as several fellow Democratic governors declined to join the group, at least for now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">A draft news release listed six other governors as members of the coalition led by Mr. Pritzker and Mr. Polis. But four of them \u2014 Andy Beshear of Kentucky, Maura Healey of Massachusetts, Michelle Lujan Grisham of New Mexico and Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania \u2014 declined to join, according to people briefed on the discussions. Govs. Tony Evers of Wisconsin and Josh Green of Hawaii were also named on the draft news release, but neither has yet agreed to join the group.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Alex Gough, a spokesman for Mr. Pritzker, said that the group had been working with 20 governors\u2019 offices but that \u201cnot all of these governors wish to be named publicly at this time for understandable reasons, including the potential threats states are facing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Mr. Murphy said he had been approached to join the Pritzker group, as well, but declined, explaining that he was focused on New Jersey until his term ends in early 2026. He said he had also declined to run to lead the Democratic National Committee after holding a series of conversations about entering that race, which is expected to have its first candidates enter by early next week.<\/p>\n<div data-testid=\"imageblock-wrapper\">\n<figure class=\"img-sz-medium css-d754w4 e1g7ppur0\" aria-label=\"media\" role=\"group\"><figcaption data-testid=\"photoviewer-children-caption\" class=\"css-gbc9ki ewdxa0s0\"><span class=\"css-jevhma e13ogyst0\">Gov.

Those who have had conversations with party members and prominent Democrats about running include Ken Martin, the Minnesota Democratic chairman; Ben Wikler, the Wisconsin Democratic chairman; Michael Blake, a former New York State Assembly member; Mitch Landrieu, a former Biden administration official who also served as mayor of New Orleans; and Stacey Abrams, who twice ran for governor of Georgia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">\u201cMy last 10 days or so have been people asking me, am I running for D.N.C. chair or am I running for New York City mayor?\u201d said Mr. Blake, who was a party vice chair during Mr. Trump\u2019s first term and lost races for Congress and New York City\u2019s public advocate. \u201cI am seriously considering both.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Joshua Karp, a spokesman for Ms. Abrams, said she had \u201cmade no calls and has told people she is not interested in seeking the post.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"live-blog-post-content css-19v2tje eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-2b9aca22\">Resistance rooted in the law<\/h2>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Much of the party\u2019s new approach remains unsettled. Starting on Sunday night, liberal advocacy organizations will present their strategies at the fall meeting of the Democracy Alliance, a private gathering of some of the party\u2019s richest donors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">The panels range from sweeping subjects \u2014 \u201cMaking Meaning and Meeting the Moment: Resistance and Reorienting\u201d and \u201cIt\u2019s Time to Resist: The Fight Against Project 2025\u201d \u2014 to more focused discussions about abortion rights, immigration, racial justice, taxes, countering disinformation and other issues, according to a draft agenda.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Presenters include leaders of prominent left-leaning groups; Democratic politicians like Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Representative Pramila Jayapal of Washington and Representative Ro Khanna of California; and philanthropists like Alex Soros.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Democrats have a growing belief that their efforts must extend beyond the political sphere, trying to go on offense in a splintered media environment where conservatives have amassed more influence. One new liberal dark-money group began prospecting for donors with a pitch that it would unearth unflattering revelations about the Murdoch family and Elon Musk \u2014 both pro-Trump media magnates.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">The group, called the Two Plus Two Coalition, plans to \u201ctarget the hidden sources of disinformation and expose them for what they are,\u201d according to a donor prospectus being circulated this past week. The group asked donors for a minimum investment of $1 million, and was aiming for an annual budget of $10 million to $15 million.<\/p>\n<div data-testid=\"imageblock-wrapper\">\n<figure class=\"img-sz-medium css-d754w4 e1g7ppur0\" aria-label=\"media\" role=\"group\"><figcaption data-testid=\"photoviewer-children-caption\" class=\"css-gbc9ki ewdxa0s0\"><span class=\"css-jevhma e13ogyst0\">Rick Wilson, a former Republican operative who is now a senior adviser to the Two Plus Two Coalition, said his organization would operate as an opposition research firm but with a military-grade intelligence-gathering operation that went far beyond the document vetting typical of a political campaign.<\/span><span class=\"css-1u46b97 e1z0qqy90\"><span class=\"css-1ly73wi e1tej78p0\">Credit&#8230;<\/span><span><span aria-hidden=\"false\">Brad Barket\/Getty Images for Fast Company<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">The group\u2019s senior adviser, Rick Wilson, a former Republican operative who was a co-founder of the Lincoln Project, said in an interview on Thursday that his organization would operate as an opposition research firm but with a military-grade intelligence-gathering operation that went far beyond the document vetting typical of a political campaign.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">\u201cA lot of people in the center and on the left have for a long time sort of bemoaned Fox, but they haven\u2019t done anything about it,\u201d Mr. Wilson said. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"live-blog-post-content css-19v2tje eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-67835ad\">Trying to emulate Republicans<\/h2>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">In some ways, the new Democratic strategy resembles what Republicans have done during President Biden\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Over the last four years, Republican governors and state legislatures pursued an agenda that flouted the administration by taking steps to restrict abortion rights, limit transgender rights, ban diversity programs and pursue other conservative priorities. Govs. Ron DeSantis of Florida and Greg Abbott of Texas transported migrants to liberal cities thousands of miles away, forcing immigration to the forefront in places far from the border and helping the Trump campaign capitalize on the issue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Some Democrats hope to similarly leverage their state power for national impact. In January, two Democratic strategists<strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\"> <\/strong>\u2014<strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\"> <\/strong>Arkadi Gerney and Sarah Knight \u2014 circulated a private memo arguing that the party\u2019s top donors should invest more heavily in transforming Democratic-controlled states into new centers of liberal influence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">A second Trump administration, they worried, would be met with far less outrage from the public and more fatigue from Democratic voters. Those factors could leave liberal states playing an even more crucial role, they argued.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Since then, they have been working to better coordinate policy across liberal states, and are urging ambitious Democrats to focus on local efforts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">\u201cEmerging policy experts and political organizers who want to make a difference \u2014 don\u2019t go to Washington,\u201d Mr. Gerney said in an interview this past week. \u201cJoin the people in Albany, Springfield and Lansing who are working to not only defend against overreach by Trump, but to aggressively make blue and purple states great places to work, live and raise families.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-1smqmx3 etfikam0\">Kenneth P.
