He’s the governor of the single most important state. No matter the party affiliation that is a big deal. He also just dominated a recall and the narrative coming out of it will be the vindication of his policies as being not only popular but necessary. That makes him a threat and he’s absolutely ambitious and egotistical enough to pursue the presidency.

This is what I was worried about. You are going to see weak kneed political windsock governors, congressmen, and senators see these results and believe tough COVID restrictions and mandates are the way to go.

Very smart for CA to count the pro democrat votes first, call it for Newsome while he has a big lead, and then drag their feet on the pro recall votes so the news cycle tomorrow morning can be all about Newsome's big win. By the time the pro recall votes are counted and the margin shrinks the narrative will already have done its damage.

I'd be worried if I lived in a blue state with a democrat governor, or a red state with a weak Republican governor like Ohio.

Most important in what way? Its electoral votes are off the table so nobody focuses on it politically. It doesn’t have enough water or power and is hemorrhaging business to non-nanny states. And with all the fruitcakes out there a queer-loving, nanny state governor STILL faced a recall. Newsome has about as much chance at the presidency as John Kasich.
