Gavin Newsom, the Governor of California, invited President-elect Trump to visit the state to observe the devastation caused by wildfires, interact with affected individuals, and express gratitude to emergency responders.

On Friday, Trump received a message from the governor as fires persisted in certain areas of California.

Newsom urged against politicizing "human tragedy" and disseminating "disinformation."

We must not politicize human tragedy or spread disinformation from the sidelines. Hundreds of thousands of Americans, displaced from their homes and fearful for the future, deserve to see us working in their best interests to ensure a fast recovery and rebuild.

"With respect and an open hand."

No comment was provided by Newsom's office when Planet Chronicle Digital requested comment on Saturday. Trump's camp also did not respond to a comment request.
