Gavin Newsom dodged a bullet and survived to rule over the Golden State for the duration of his term. Newsom fought off 46 challengers, both Democrats, and Republicans, to win the special recall election in California. His primary challenger was radio talk host Larry Elder but to listen to Newsom, he beat Donald Trump and, as he called it, Trumpism. I checked, and Trump’s name was nowhere on the ballot. It was just in Newsom’s head.
This special election cost California taxpayers a whopping $276 million. Nothing is cheap in California. Newsom raised $80.5 million to assure he stayed in the Governor’s Mansion in Sacramento. Larry Elder raised a paltry $13.8 million, but he did not have unions and celebrity money on his side. Newsom was bolstered by support from the Democrat A-Team of Biden, Harris, Sanders, and Warren. Biden was held off until the last minute when it was clear that Newsom would survive the recall. Biden’s visit was inconsequential, and a good thing for him, and Newsom for his delivery at the rally was one of his worst to date.
When Newsom went to the podium on Tuesday night to declare victory, he had a concise list of what his win meant for Californians. He proclaimed that his win was a denouncement of Trump and a call for the Green New Deal and Women’s Reproductive Rights. He said that his win shows that his supporters do not want their state to turn into Texas. I hope that the people of the West Coast have more profound thoughts and desires than Newsom.
Let’s look at what Newsom failed to detail and should have been on the mind of every voter on Tuesday.
That is just seven topics that nobody wanted to press Newsom on, but why when you can get an abortion in a green clinic? In a few blogs back, I mentioned that Democrats could not break the cycle of voting these destructive politicians into office. In this case, they had a chance to remove Newsom’s and correct a bad situation. Fool me once, shame on you. Guess the shame is on the people of California today.
