According to press accounts, California's Gov. Gavin Newsom is in the catbird seat.
The headline in yesterday's The Hill says it all: Biden appointments give Newsom chance to reshape California politics.
And for him, it's supposed to be great. After all, his leftist-extremist Bay Area, San Francisco and Berkeley political machine, once reviled as impossible to replicate across the country, is now ascendant throughout the U.S.
San Francisco's House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is gearing up for yet another term as the most powerful person in Congress. Berkeley-born Sen. Kamala Harris looks set for the vice presidency, after having been put there based on pressure from the California machine, which, now that it's done, leaves him a Senate slot to fill. His attorney general, Xavier Becerra, is also off to Washington, leaving him another appointment of his choosing. And possibly the same with secretary of state Alex Padilla.
As for matters back home, hain't he got the power? Newsom's COVID lockdowns have pretty well put a stop to all those pesky small business owners who run San Francisco's and Los Angeles's restaurants, bars, schools, and gyms. He's ordered them all shut down, leaving them now dependent on his government for sustanance. Oh, and he had no problem getting $3 million for himself for the federal PPP COVID loans, too bad about the rest.
Just one problem though: California's voters want to throw him out. A new recall petition has surpassed the 750,000 halfway point in number of signatures collected and it's filling up fast. What's more, it might just make it to the finish line because a judge has extended the signature period from Nov. 17 to March 17. Hollywood celebrities are signing it. The easy-access petition includes a workable download and five spaces to sign

Gavin, call the DNC.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has already survived five long-shot recall attempts in his two years in office, but those close to him are reportedly worried that the current recall effort amidst frustration over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic could prove successful.
Near the bottom of a Politico report on Newsom's chief of staff Ann O'Leary preparing to depart Sacramento for a potential job in the Biden administration rests this spicy nugget: "As Newsom begins his third full year in office, the governor’s team is increasingly concerned with a long-shot conservative recall that could mushroom into a major threat in 2021 if it attracts significant financial support."
The report also states, "Sources close to Newsom said the governor's office has been disorganized over the past month and has not responded effectively to damaging headlines" including his French Laundry trip, controversial new stay-at-home order and delay in naming Vice President-elect Kamala Harris' replacement in the United States Senate. In addition, most of the state's public schools remain closed while they are open in other deep blue states such as New York and Massachusetts, and small business owners were particularly irate over the lack of evidence presented to support certain business closures.
I hope he runs off into the woods and never comes back, he and all his minions
RE: I hope he runs off into the woods and never comes back, he and all his minions
This is California, where the ENTIRE STATE’s GOVERNMENT is controlled by Democrats.
Even if you took him out, the best you will get is a political clone. It’s like the City of Portland - it’s either their inept, incompetent Mayor or a Communist. The city voted to keep the devil they already know.
If it passes, he can just get a federal judge to toss the election out the window, like the Democrats did with the gay rights referendum some years back.
The last recall was a circus resulting in a celebrity rino. voters went for the flash assuming we had not hit bottom. This time we need to concentrate on ONE candidate. It points to outgoing mayor Falconer. Pro choice but does it matter now?
By the time California would get around to any recall, Newsom will have appointed himself as Senator to replace Kamela.
Not to mention big kickbacks from China over the $Billion CovidChina virus protection masks he purchased.
Suggestions: Don’t let the party pick your candidate. And ask Trump if he’s got anyone in mind who’d make a great gov for CA.
Does CA use Dominion Voting machines?....................
HE’S A PENCIL NECK!........................
Oh, please.. it’s California.. who would they possibly replace him with?
Newsom has nothing to be concerned about.
When you act like a despot Gavin you have to expect things like this.
He looks phony as hell. Who would vote for anyone so plastic
The Kardashian Effect, I'd guess....Cal tends toward this culturally...don't forget Gov Arnie...and even Reagan was a movie star.
Recall Newsom?
Oh hell no Californians ought put him in stocks and stone him.
Needs to happen.
Q:How did they go from Reagan to one clown after the next..and in no time California was forever lost? A:They have been cheating all along.
