Democracy Prevails!
California stands up to GOP's zero basis for a recall!
Republican nonsense stopped here in California! The voters have had their say! Governor Gavin Newsom remains Governor.
Thanks to Newsom's leadership California’s low rates of coronavirus infection are nowhere near the dismal numbers of deaths and hospitalizations in irresponsibly Republican-run states like Florida and Texas. California is not Texas or Florida thank goodness! We will keep it that way!

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Tuesday emphatically defeated a recall aimed at kicking him out of office early, a contest the Democrat framed as part of a national battle for his party’s values in the face of the coronavirus pandemic and continued threats from “Trumpism.”

SACRAMENTO — After convincingly beating back a recall effort that came to dominate his third year in office, Gov. Gavin Newsom took an understated victory lap Tuesday night, calling for unity following an election that he said had divided California and challenged its values.
The BBC's US partner CBS projects that the governor will prevail, with about two-thirds of voters backing him and more than 60% of the vote tallied.
"I'm humbled and grateful to the millions and millions of Californians that exercised their fundamental right to vote," Mr Newsom said in a victory speech in Sacramento.
