California Governor Gavin Newsom dominated the election to recall him. But it doesn’t say much about how the state feels about Newsom. Instead, it says a lot more about the current state of the G.O.P. and the collapse of moderate Republicanism.
***Updates Since Recording***
- I totally did pronounce Falconer wrong
- Currently, the results of the recall election with 92% of the vote in is 62.8% on No to Recalling Newsom and 37.2% on Yes. Larry Elder still leads the field of replacements with 47.9% of the vote, but that would only matter if there was a majority for Yes - which isn’t likely to happen.
