Trial Balloon · Ep. 190: Trump Is Everywhere

Republicans See Hope In Two California Districts

October 5, 2021 · 4:45 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“California Republicans saw few silver linings after Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) soundly defeated the campaign to recall him this month. He raised tens of millions of dollars and motivated Democratic turnout to squash the recall by some 20 percentage points,” the Sacramento Bee reports.

“But if the recall is any indication of what Californians want in next year’s midterm election, there could be a glimmer of hope for Republicans angling to unseat Democrats in of pair congressional districts where voters favored ousting Newsom.”

“Significant portions of District 3, held by Rep. John Garamendi (D-CA) and District 10, held by Rep. Josh Harder (D-CA) showed strong support for removing the state’s top Democrat.”
