Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass 'not worried' about supposed 'animosity' between Trump and California

Trump has heavily criticized leaders in Los Angeles and California over the response to the wildfires, saying the city and state were woefully unprepared. 

On Sunday, Bass said she's "not worried" about any supposed animosity between Trump and local officials and said she has been in communication with his team. 

The incoming president has long railed against Democrats in California for limiting the availability of water for Californians that comes from the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers in the northern part of the state.

"I joined in the invitation to the incoming president to come to Los Angeles," Bass said during Sunday's press update on the firefighting efforts. "I joined with the supervisor, and the governor and spoke directly with the incoming administration yesterday. It was a fine call."

She added, "There are also, as I mentioned before, a number of my former colleagues who are up for confirmation. I feel like I will have good relations there."

Bass and Barger said they believe Trump will visit the area. 

"I will say, knowing what I know, and I represent Altadena, which is probably the most diverse, community, that in the fifth district, this is the exact constituency that he was talking to," said Barger. "You got socioeconomics from all walks of life, and they are suffering. So I am confident that this president will come."

"There isn't a lack of communication between the city of Los Angeles and the incoming Trump administration," she said. "I have spoken with representatives of the incoming administration. I'll be talking more about that in the coming days."
