President Donald Trump and California Gov. Gavin Newsom traded insults on Friday in the run-up to Saturday's 'No Kings' protests, a nationwide day of demonstrations organized by opponents of the administration.
The protests have been planned for weeks and were supercharged this month by anger over immigration enforcement operations, particularly a large-scale raid at a Chicago apartment building that organizers have made a rallying point.
Newsom, a frequent Trump critic widely seen as a possible future presidential contender, traded barbs with the president as both sides framed Saturday's turnout as a test of public sentiment.
Demonstrations are expected in cities across the United States on Saturday, with organizers predicting large crowds and law enforcement agencies preparing for a busy day.
