As expected incumbent Gov. Gavin Newsom easily advanced Tuesday to November's General Election. It's just a question of who his opponent will be.
As the polls closed, Newson had built an insurmountable lead, earning 1,044,956 votes or nearly 60 percent of the more than 23 percent of the ballots counted."I think the only loss for the governor is failing to win really, really big," said Jessica Levinson, a political commentator and election law professor at Loyola Marymount University."This is almost the definition of a noncompetitive race.
Criticism of Newsom's handling of the pandemic drove last year's recall. Newsom, who imposed the nation's first statewide COVID-19 shutdown order, countered that his actions saved lives and has pointed to statistics showing California's per capita death rate was better than Texas, Florida and most other states.
Should the U.S. Supreme Court overturn the Roe v. Wade decision he has vowed to turn California into a sanctuary for women seeking abortions. He also pledged to sign a law allowing private citizens to sue gun makers and sellers to enforce the state's ban on some assault weapons.
