None of the Democratic state attorneys general who originally took Trump to court over that controversial policy will still be in office when he is inaugurated next month.
Josh Shapiro, who was the state’s attorney general in 2017, was on the 2024 Democratic vice presidential short list.
The Democratic governors in Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, and, come January, in North Carolina and Washington, are former attorneys general who battled the first Trump administration in court as well.
As governors, they can help secure funding and propose other legislation that will buttress the work of state attorneys general.
But that does not mean that Democratic attorneys general plan to fight Trump on every issue.
