Gov. Gavin Newson has handily beat back an effort to oust him from office. Here are five takeaways from Newsom’s big win in California’s recall election:
The limitations of Larry Elder
But while Elder’s celebrity propelled him to the top of the contenders hoping to replace Newsom, his candidacy underscored his shortcomings. A first-time candidate, he had years of provocative on-air commentary he had to explain, and he showed little ability to garner support beyond the state’s conservative flank.Newsom was all too happy to run against Elder, but lurking in the subtext of those attacks was Trump.
Among the proposals being floated is an increase in the number of signatures necessary to place a recall on the ballot; under the current rule, 12% of the voter turnout from the prior gubernatorial election is required, a rate that’s among the lowest in the nation.
