Will Newsom's big win in California recall help Democrats across the country?
Fox News
Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom easily survived the recall election, but will his big win in California translate to Democrats running in elections across the country this year and next year?
Pointing to Newsom’s big win, Democratic Governors Association chair Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham of New Mexico said she’s "looking forward to the same effort at every level ballot box across America as we head into the midterms."
According to the latest unofficial results from election officials, roughly 64% of Californians voted no – meaning against removing Newsom from office – in Tuesday's recall election, with just 36% casting ballots to oust the embattled first-term Democratic governor. Newsom’s margin beat expectations, topping the final public opinion polls heading into the election, which suggested the governor would survive by a much smaller double-digit margin.
