Fury at Donald Trump was the coin of the realm, as thousands of California delegates, activists and elected officials gathered in San Francisco this weekend, emboldened by a string of victories and confident the Golden State would help deliver a power check on the president in the upcoming midterm elections.

On Saturday, Democrats streamed through the Moscone Center convention complex, sporting lanyards emblazoned with Gavin Newsom's name and tote bags adorned with one of Nancy Pelosi's favorite aphorisms: We don't Agonize, we organize" - symbols of a party in transition as the former speaker approaches retirement and the term-limited governor eyes a presidential campaign.
