Route Fifty: LONG BEACH, Calif. — Robert Garcia admits that like many big-city mayors, Donald Trump’s presidential victory in November took him by surprise.
“Most urban mayors were expecting Secretary Clinton to win,” the mayor of Long Beach told Route Fifty in an interview last week. A White House led by Hillary Clinton was going to continue the Democratic policies of Barack Obama, policies that saw many U.S. cities, including Long Beach, flourish and prosper.
“We needed that continuation,” Garcia said. “We were excited about that.”
