California Governor Gavin Newsom, along with other Democratic presidential hopefuls for 2028, issued an executive order and public calls for a more aggressive regulatory approach to artificial intelligence, citing fears about the technology's rapid, unchecked development. Newsom's move adds a state-level push to rein in AI ahead of federal action. Separately, Republican Rep. Chip Roy of Texas said on CNBC's Squawk Box that while he supports congressional hearings and oversight of AI, he opposes imposing additional regulations on the industry. The contrasting positions highlight a widening partisan divide in Washington and among state leaders over how aggressively to police AI development.
