It appears that the recall of Gov. Gavin Newsom went down in flames yesterday.
Fox News reported:
California Gov. Gavin Newsom will keep his job steering the nation's most populous state.
The Associated Press projects that a majority of Californians have voted no - meaning against removing Newsom from office - in Tuesday's recall election of the embattled first-term Democratic governor.
Newsom, who was overwhelmingly elected governor in 2018 in the heavily blue state, was facing a recall drive sparked last year mainly over accusations that he mishandled his state’s response to the coronavirus, the worst pandemic to strike the globe in a century.
I have always contended that unless the massive Democrat majorities in the State Senate and State Assembly were to be flipped to the GOP, nothing will change. The recall was fun to watch, but it was an exercise in futility. It is essentially a one-party state. California voters have the kind of government they want and they are welcome to it. I am glad I left.
Which raises a question: How many more Californians will leave the state since Newsom will be finishing out his term? This will be interesting to watch.
