GOP effort to oust California's Democratic governor fails spectacularly

Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom appears on track to match his margin of victory in 2018, if not beat it.

California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom resoundingly beat back a GOP effort to oust him from office in the middle of his first term, defeating the recall by a landslide, double-digit margin.

With more than two-thirds of the vote counted, Newsom defeated the recall 64.2% to 35.8%. While experts say the margin could shrink a few points as late-arriving mail-in ballots come in, it appears Newsom will do as well or possibly better than the 61.9% he garnered in his 2018 victory, when he was first elected to office.

And according to data compiled by the Washington Post, the GOP lost the gubernatorial recall by a historically large margin. It shows that Republicans — who began an effort to recall Newsom in early 2020 before the COVID-19 pandemic started — failed to gain traction in their effort.

With this data that says that 35% of Californians and for that matter the right wing fascists' supporting authoritarians in the nation wants to still kill me and my family...even when they lost this, the state had to put up 275+ million dollar's for this BS, that could have helped with other programs, Elder and others should be paying for this BS...

3. Californians reaffirming to themselves and the nation, including Latinos

who turned out in unexpectedly high numbers, may turn out to be worth it all.

High drama that shouldn't be entirely forgotten as right-serving MSM try to imprint a far more negative picture with the midterms coming . They'll now have this realilty to overcome in order to claim California is rejecting Democrats for Republicans.
