加州民主党参议员亚历克斯·帕迪拉表示，他将参加周一举行的第47届总统就职典礼唐纳德·特朗普将宣誓就职他的第二个任期。
“我确实打算去那里。当然，”他告诉美国广播公司“本周”联合主持人乔纳森·卡尔。
当被问及对特朗普总统任期的期望时，帕迪拉笑了。“希望最好的，希望一些好的。但是，如果第一届政府是一个指标的话，就要为一些不好的情况做准备。
尽管帕迪拉的民主党同事宾夕法尼亚州参议员约翰·费特曼表示，他支持川普成为一名成功的总统，但帕迪拉的支持“取决于我对成功的定义”
帕迪拉说:“如果为了我们的国家安全，为了我们的经济和工人阶级的平衡，我们将继续过去四年的进步，那么绝对是唐纳德·特朗普或其他任何人。”然而，他补充说，“我不会仅仅根据特朗普总统的条件来支持他。”
帕迪拉还强调他愿意与当选总统合作。
“尽管我们多年来一直听到他关于移民和移民的言论，但当他公开表示支持帮助梦想家时，嘿，我洗耳恭听，”他说，指的是未成年时被带入美国的无证移民。
帕迪拉代表他的民主党同事说，该党“准备在[他们]同意的情况下与新政府合作”，以便“在过去四年的进展基础上再接再厉。”
关于隔夜实施的抖音禁令，帕迪拉对他是否认为特朗普应该恢复这款受欢迎的社交媒体应用程序保持沉默。
“看，我们支持创意社区和社交媒体平台，但显然必须有护栏来防止越来越明显的伤害，”他说，并指出错误信息、虚假信息和成瘾是需要解决的问题。
特朗普周日在Truth Social上宣布，他将发布一项行政命令，旨在推迟对抖音的禁令，“以便我们可以达成协议来保护我们的国家安全。”这位即将上任的总统还表示，他希望美国在“合资企业中拥有50%的所有权。”
帕迪拉说，他“期待”特朗普前往加州，亲眼目睹火灾损失，并与受灾家庭交谈。这位参议员上周邀请特朗普这样做，指出破坏的地点“距离兰乔帕洛斯贝尔德斯的(特朗普的)高尔夫球场只有大约30英里。”
周五，帕迪拉提出了一项两党立法方案，其中包括三项与野火相关的法案。
Democrat Padilla will 'of course' attend Trump's inauguration, willing to work with new administration
California Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla said he will attend the 47th presidential inauguration on Monday in which President-electDonald Trumpwill be sworn into office for his second term.
“I do plan to be there. Of course,” he told ABC "This Week" co-anchor Jonathan Karl.
When asked about his expectations for the Trump presidency, Padilla chuckled. “Hoping for the best, hoping for some good. But preparing for some bad, if the first administration was any indicator,” he said.
Though Padilla's Democratic colleague Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman said he is rooting for Trump to be a successful president, Padilla's support "depends on what helps me define success."
"If we're going to continue the progress of the last four years for the sake of our national security, for the sake of our economy and working class balance, then absolutely, Donald Trump or anybody else," Padilla said. However, he added, “I’m not going to root for President Trump simply by his terms."
Padilla also emphasized his willingness to work with the president-elect.
“Despite all the rhetoric on immigration and immigrants that we’ve heard from him for years and years and years, when he says publicly that he’s supportive of helping Dreamers, hey, I’m all ears,” he said, referring to migrants who were brought into the country without documentation as minors.
Speaking for his Democratic colleagues, Padilla said that the party is “ready to work with the new administration where [they] agree” in order to “build on [their] progress from the last four years.”
In regard to the TikTok ban implemented overnight, Padilla remained tight-lipped about whether he thinks Trump should reinstate the popular social media app.
“Look, we support the creative community and social media platforms, but clearly there have to be guardrails to protect against lots of harms that are increasingly evident,” he said, citing misinformation, disinformation, and addiction as issues that need to be addressed.
Trump announced on Sunday on Truth Social that he will issue an executive order intended to postpone the ban on TikTok "so that we can make a deal to protect our national security." The incoming president also said he wants the U.S. to have a "50% ownership position in a joint venture."
Padilla said he “looks forward” to Trump traveling to California to witness the fire damage firsthand and speak with affected families. The senator had invited Trump to do so last week, pointing out that the site of devastation is "just about 30 miles from [Trump's] golf course in Rancho Palos Verdes."
Padilla introduced a bipartisan legislative package with three wildfire-related bills on Friday.
