State & local dem parties have, generally speaking, been better about standing up compared to the national party

Obviously not 100% of them, but certainly a lot more

See: States limiting involvement with ICE, tons of state AGs suing trump, Maine’s Governor directly challenging trump’s anti trans actions and winning, NY Governor challenging trump’s threats on pulling congesting pricing, Illinois Governor signing an EO to limit the state’s sharing of any Autism data with the federal government after RFK’s registry comments, etc.
