Democrats eye Newsom's success running on Covid rules while cautioning that 2022 map doesn't look like California

California Gov. Gavin Newsom's top aides were so confident the night before the Democratic governor defeated the effort to remove him, they began giving advice to the national Democratic Party.
Democrats, depending on the race, should link their opponents to former President Donald Trump like Newsom did in the waning weeks of the campaign, said top Newsom operative Sean Clegg. And Democrats should run on, not away from, stringent coronavirus orders, said campaign manager Juan Rodriguez, the same way Newsom did in a bid to cast Larry Elder, the leading Republican candidate in the recall, as anti-science.
"Larry Elder is on the ballot here on the recall, but a version of Larry Elder is going to be on the ballot all over the country," Rodriguez told reporters on Monday. "That's an important lesson for Democrats."
After recent burglaries at homes of professional athletes – including Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce – the NFL and NBA have issued security memos to teams and players warning that “organized and skilled groups” are increasingly targeting players’ residences for such crimes.
