A California in crisis awaits Newsom after landslide win in recall

LA Times  

Standing in an elementary school classroom in Oakland, Gov. “I’m also mindful of this: Challenges are in abundance in these positions.” California voters and Newsom’s political allies stepped up to defend the governor from the GOP-led recall, delivering a win that helps pave the way to his reelection next year. “The campaign seized on that to create a simple choice for voters,” said Ace Smith, one of Newsom’s political advisors. A week before the election, Smith argued that Sept. 14 would give Newsom “a clear mandate not only against the recall, but for sanity on something as important as public health.” As a “final seal of approval” for his handling of the pandemic, Newsom’s triumph will also make it harder for Republicans to gain any traction during his reelection campaign with claims that he was too restrictive or took away personal freedom, said Juan Rodriguez, Newsom’s campaign manager. “The dire situation of this year’s drought is really just a prelude to a much more consequential drought next year,” said Daniel Zingale, a former adviser to Newsom who serves on the Delta Stewardship Council.
