the 2021 California Gubernatorial recall election, an unessisary expense only begotten because of a Judicial extension to collect more signatures for a recall pettition, this election is one that wasted everyone's time and milions of dollars from the California Treasury.
Despite being seen as competitive throughout the campaign, it did not end up being so, with Newsome matching his 2018 Margin, this election did not bring Republicans roaring back to power in the State that elected both Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, as they so wished.
This result is the case because of two factors, the first being the state's partisanship and the second being that Newsom's presumptive replacement was the hard right radio host Larry Elder, a man who publically aspoused positions significantly out of step with CA's electorate.
Electoraly, Newsom won because of Democrat's long-time strength in the Bay area, Gold Coast and Los Angeles county, with Newsome unexpectedly inproving in the ancestrally republican Orange cty. mostly thanks to his strong support from the Urban/Suburban Minorities in the region.
However, not everything was good for Newsom, as the rural areas of the state, especially the Shasta Cascades, and Sierra Nevadas in addition to the heavily minority rural areas of the state in the San Joaquin Valley as well as Imperial County, shifted against Newsom.
All in all, the net of this election was positive for Newsome, as he went back to Sacramento with a renewed mandate from the people to carry out his policy, and delivered a desperaly needed win for President Biden, whose agenda was then languishing in congressional gridlock.
