California recall: yesterday I mentioned in passing that the tea leaves suggested there would be no recall election in California. But if there it is, it will fail. Note:
- Covid-19: California has the lowest Covid-19 positivity rates in the nation
- driven in part by high vaccination rates
- state budget: windfall could top $30 billion by next summer
- re-opening: governor says he will re-open the economy by mid-June
California recall: likely opponents -- lack star power.
Surprise: no one saw any of this six months ago -- this could turn out to be quite embarrassing for the GOP. But a lot can happen between now and when/if the recall goes forward.

FWIW:
Cannot disagree that the recall could blow up, but having family/friends living there,I know there is a large groundswell of discontent within the state,
ReplyDeleteIt will blow up bad for one side or the other.
Yes, there is a huge groundswell of discontent, but the polls show 50% / 50% -- and that won't be enough to bring in a new governor. If not, the incumbent governor comes out of this stronger than ever.
