With democratic supermajorities in both wings of the state legislature, California has strengthened its role as a leader in progressive policy, pushing back against the Trump administration on issues like immigration and climate change. But a hotly-contested election for the chair of California's Democratic Party has led to infighting between longtime California democrats and a more progressive, Bernie Sanders-influenced wing.
