When Democrats win, what comes next?

 


What Gavin Newsom's win means for California, Trumpism and the U.S. midterms | The Star    "California Gov. Gavin Newsom ably fended off a recall attempt from Republicans on Tuesday, changing the stakes of the contest from a referendum on his own performance and into a partisan fight over Trumpism and the coronavirus.

"Five takeaways from Newsom’s victory:. . . 

Will Newsom's big win in California recall help Democrats across the country? | Fox News   ..."Pointing to Newsom’s big win, Democratic Governors Association chair Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham of New Mexico said she’s "looking forward to the same effort at every level ballot box across America as we head into the midterms.' "...

Newsom Survives CA Recall – But What Happens Next? - Liberty Nation   . . . "The narrative from the very beginning of the Newsom campaign was that this was a “Republican recall” and that the forces of Trump were hard at work in the Golden State. Quite how true this rhetoric has been remains to be proven. Democrats understand that Donald Trump is a divisive figure for their voting base and one that can ensure a loyal turnout. Rather than running on the governor’s record – as cited in his victory speech – it seems Newsom et al. were positioning themselves as the anti-Trump vanguard.". . . 

Democrats Repeat the Mistakes of 2016 › American Greatness (Conrad Black) ..."The Democrats are still outwardly pretending Trump has gone and that his support has evaporated. They also pretend they can hobble him with vexatious litigation and, if necessary, destroy him again by raising the Trump-hate media smear campaign back to ear-splitting levels. 

"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), even as she finds the ground shifting beneath her feet over the administration’s incontinent spending ambitions, is seeing her effort to promote the January 6 trespass at the U.S. Capitol as an outrage on the scale of Pearl Harbor and 9/11 overshadowed by the Afghanistan disaster and the cascade of other blunders and improvidences of the Biden Administration.". . .
