A week after former President Donald Trump won a return to the White House, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis has joined with Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker to announce a new effort “pushing back against increasing threats of autocracy,” as Pritzker described it. But both Democratic governors shied away from pointing the initiative directly at the incoming Republican administration. The new effort, dubbed Governors Safeguarding Democracy, stands apart from the longstanding National Governors Association — which Polis now chairs — and the party-aligned Republican and Democratic governors associations.
