A California special legislative session to counter the policies of the incoming Trump Administration, originally scheduled for Jan. 14, has been postponed.

Staff from the office of Assemblyman Jesse Gabriel, chair of the Assembly’s budget committee, confirmed to The Epoch Times on Monday that the postponement was due to the ongoing wildfires ravaging the Los Angeles area.
