On Wednesday, Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., reprimanded President-elect Donald Trump and expressed the hope that Trump perceived everyone equally in the midst of the devastating California wildfires.

Schiff stated on MSNBC that the fires are affecting everyone, regardless of political affiliation. He emphasized that everyone is in this together and that those who have lost their homes have also lost their entire neighborhood.

Several wildfires have hit Los Angeles in the past few days, including the Palisades Fire, the Eaton Fire, the Hurst Fire, the Lidia Fire, and the Sunset Fire, as per Cal Fire's early Thursday update.

Schiff stated that he is concerned about the consequences of not having a president who views all Americans as equal, regardless of their political affiliations. He noted that this is a departure from the past, where such a president was once in office. Schiff expressed hope that the incoming president would recognize the impact of this on his supporters and work to address the issue. He emphasized that the federal government would need assistance in dealing with the aftermath of natural disasters.

The mayor of Pasadena disclosed that many residents impacted by the Eaton fire faced difficulties in obtaining insurance for their homes, according to Schiff.

Schiff stated that there would be many people in need of assistance, and they would require help from either a Democrat or Republican president. He, along with Sen. Padilla, is committed to ensuring that all constituents receive the necessary resources, regardless of their political affiliation. Governor Newsom shares this determination.

Gavin Newsom, the California governor, was accused of partial responsibility for the wildfires by Trump in a social media post.

Governor Gavin Newsom rejected the water restoration declaration presented to him, which would have enabled millions of gallons of water from excess rain and snowmelt from the North to be released daily into various parts of California, including those currently experiencing a virtually apocalyptic wildfire.

The governor's office denied the rumor that Newsom had made the declaration, stating that the governor wasn't involved in politics.

"I won't respond to it," Newsom told CNN's Anderson Cooper on Wednesday. "This guy wanted to politicize it, and I have a lot of thoughts, but I won't say anything."

Newsom said late Wednesday that 7,500 firefighters were out battling the wildfires.

Over 1,100 fire engines, 31 helicopters, and 53 bulldozers are part of the deployment, Newsom stated.
