SAN JOSE, Calif. — — and a foreboding sign for national Democrats as they face already challenging midterm elections.
Though the outcome of the recall is still weeks away, some Democrats are already fretting about the potential knock-on effects in New Jersey and Virginia, the only other states with gubernatorial elections later this year and ones that are often viewed as weather vanes for national political currents.
The leading Republican recall candidate, Larry Elder, has vowed to remove those restrictions immediately and suggests he can turn California into a red state on Covid rules. Republicans are giddy at the prospect of improbable reversals in the two biggest Democratic strongholds where governors were being celebrated last year.
While Newsom’s woes and Cuomo’s toppling stem from different sources, both men losing their jobs could bolster a message about “the larger failures of Democratic governors,” said Republican Governors Association spokesperson Joanna Rodriguez. Voters have been paying closer attention to their governors as state governments lead the response to coronavirus, Rodriguez argued.
Democrats got Cuomo out. Your article is deeply flawed with regards to NY; Cuomo resigning was not about parties. His replacement will be a Democrat. Stop looking at everything through a partisan lens.
YEAH! And do you remember this, numbnut, alleged abuser! Behar: “.. Oh, please run for President!”
Stupid headline. The Cuomo matter has been brewing for months, numerous Democrats called for his resignation, and he was replaced by a Democrat. Newsom hasn't lost anything yet and polls show him ahead. Do you ever get tired of this crap?
Don’t worry, the nydnc has dropped the charges against cuomo and after the failure the dems will have next year they’ll need anyone who is more charismatic than harris. Normally, I’d say that could be anyone, but a rapist and a corrupt Californian seem like the best options.
Democrats need to be clear that Republicans can not win a regularly scheduled election in California. However, in a recall in which they were allowed more time to collect signatures, they stand a chance. Republicans are banking on low turnout do not let that happen
