How I read this is Pelosi’s Army of vote grabbers are refusing to report for duty for one reason or another.
It’s August. Typically a dead month politically.
Also they have throughly terrified the leftists who statistically are far less stable anyway. They are literally afraid of dying. They are not focused on Newsom’s retention.
And finally many moderate and decline to states lost their jobs, didn’t get their unemployment, can’t collect rent, and couldn’t send their kids to school. They are mad enough to not help Newsom out. All we need them to do is avoid voting.
Newsom’ hypocrisy and no bid contracts have made an impact on some. He is disliked. Some have lost homes, businesses and loved ones in these mostly preventable wildfires.
His insane policies have hurt a lot of his base. Some have noticed.
We may pull this off.
