A faction of California Republicans - including Inland Empire Assemblyman Chad Mayes - are urging the party to diverge from President Trump and moderate its tone and policy. Former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and current Ohio Governor John Kasich were among the speakers at the first event by the group, New Way California. Capital Public Radio's Ben Bradford was there.
