California Governor Newsom fights off recall challenge by two-to-one margin
[NYPOST] Democratic Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Gov. Gavin can't be Bee'dNewsom  ...the Mitt Romneyesque mayor of San Francisco as it transformed itself into Poopville, currently governor of California as it transforms itself into Cinderland...easily survived a recall effort Tuesday night — avoiding the threat of becoming the second chief executive of the Golden State to be removed from office by voters before the completion of his term in under 20 years. With 61 percent of the expected vote in, the "no" response to the ballot question of whether Newsom should be recalled had 66.8 percent of the vote while the "yes" response had 33.2 percent. The final margin was expected to be closer as more votes were counted, but not nearly close enough to trouble the incumbent. In brief remarks Tuesday night, Newsom said Californians — in voting "no" on the recall — had "said yes to science." "We said yes to vaccines, we said yes to ending this pandemic," Newsom said. "We said yes to people’s right to vote without fear of fake fraud or voter suppression. We said yes to women’s fundamental constitutional right to decide for herself what she does with her body ... We said yes to diversity, we said yes to inclusion, we said yes to pluralism. We said yes to all those things that we hold dear as Californians, and I would argue, as Americans."
