Larry Elder was a godsend to the Newsom campaign. California ain’t exactly a red state, and the recall rules and poll numbers shifted the story from “Newsom vs. Not Newsom” to “Newsom vs. Crazy Trumpy Radio Guy (sponsored by Relief Factor)”.

Newsome lost in Riverside when he was elected, but is handily winning it right now.
 
I think that’s pretty much that. 60% in and Newsome is winning 67.7 to 32.3.

Newsome has not only survived, but seems to have absolutely wrecked.

What’s with Republicans and burning money away for no gain? The War on Terror and then contesting elections they loose

The Republicans probably would’ve won if they’d backed anyone besides Larry Elder. The guy is one of the most transparently evil pieces of human garbage of all time. Literally suggested giving reparations for slave owners and said he would’ve voted against civil rights. Republicans thought they could get away with the most transparent of their evil racist intentions just because the man spouting that shit is black, but guess what, voters actually care how the governor’s policies will effect them and people they know.

Actually that’s not how the recall effort works, the voters have to answer two questions first ahould he be recalled, then who should replace him, he wasn’t recalled. Unless you’re arguing that the California voters hated Newsom but still voted for him because they were terrified by the remote possibility of Larry Elders winning. I know the Democrats have been pushing a lot of propaganda in the state but I don’t think it was that effective.
 
California is just a solid blue state and didn’t want him recalled. Newsom should be concerned about WHY this even went to recall, but he made it through. Recall efforts come up there all the time, but this is one of the few times it went to a vote.

yes, but keep in mind attempted recalls there aren’t uncommon, this time it actually made it to a vote. If Newsom actually cared about representing Californians and doing a good job of it he would take a moment to consider why.

I really want to link to an article about a law just passed here, that allows police to legally plant fake evidence on peoples’ social media accounts without a warrant, but it’s just going to get deleted by the mods anyway.

I’m pretty sure that was the gist of Newsom’s plan from the start, since not a single major Democrat ran in the Recall election. Forcing the blue Californians to choose between him or a Republican.
