California Gov. Gavin Newsom beats back GOP-led recall
Newsom bolted to a quick victory boosted by healthy turnout in the overwhelmingly Democratic state. He cast it as a win for his handling of the pandemic and liberal issues, and it ensures the nation’s most populous state will remain in Democratic control as a laboratory for progressive policies.
With an estimated two-thirds of ballots counted, “no” on the question of whether to recall Newsom was ahead by a 30-point margin. That lead was built on votes cast by mail and in advance of Tuesday’s in-person balloting, with a strong showing by Democrats. While likely to shrink somewhat in the days ahead as votes cast at polling places are counted, Newsom’s lead couldn’t be overcome.

Former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer was once considered Republicans' best hope at winning statewide, given his moderate positions -- he supports abortion rights, same-sex marriage, and a path to citizenship -- but he was unable to gain traction even in this underwhelming field. A distant third among Republican contenders was business executive John Cox, who had resorted to stunt-campaigning with a 1000-pound Kodiak bear. What comes next for the scraping-rock-bottom California Republican Party? Simple: Adapt or die. And maybe hop a plane to Boston to see how Republican candidates can win despite a deep-blue landscape.

Any pointers on how Texas and Florida Democrats can win?
It does baffle me how California Republicans think Larry Elder would be better than Kevin Faulconer against Newsom.

A combination of racists and people who do not like misogynistic homophobic candidates is how you get a coalition who overwhelmingly votes to keep the “status quo” of a governor who is presiding over a state with increasing third world problems.

I not baffled, this is what MAGA cults do.

This whole country has been described as being a "Third World Country Wrapped in a Gucci Belt"
As a nation America is like those impoverished people who can't afford to pay their bills because they would rather go shopping for junk they don't need to feel good about themselves.
