Major cuts to California’s budget would be required if the state puts President Donald Trump’s new unemployment plan into place, according to Gov. Gavin Newsom.

It “would create a burden the likes which even a state as large as California could never absorb without, again, massive cuts to important services, or further burdening ... businesses and individuals,” Newsom, a Democrat, told reporters during a Monday virtual press conference.
