President Trump issued a warning to Gov. Gavin Newsom after a transgender high school athlete won a girls' track event in California.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened to withhold federal funding from the state of California over a transgender athlete’s participation in an upcoming sporting event – the latest example of the president trying to use funding as leverage to enact his agenda.

California is the second state to enter Trump’s cross-hairs over transgender athletes participation in youth sports. Last month, Trump began the process of stripping Maine of federal education dollars in a battle over the issue between the president and Maine Gov. Janet Mills. The dispute immediately landed in court.
