State of California: Making sense of the recall election
Doug Sovern is away,KCBS news anchors Petti Reising and Jeff Bell spoke with Sonoma State Political Scientist Dr. David McCuan
Governor Newsom has handily defeated only the second-ever Recall of a California Governor. The latest results have the “No” votes at just about 63% of the vote, with the “Yes” side at about 37% of the vote – a more than 25-point difference.
Radio talk show host and Republican Larry Elder received 47% of the replacement candidate vote with more than 2.4 million votes cast in his favor.
Professor McCuan what sense can we make of these results, a strong win by the Governor and the outside, insurgent campaign of Larry Elder?
