“You get to one-on-one, it’s a much different contest,” Faulconer said, repeatedly talking about how he would square up against Newsom if they were to emerge in June from California’s top-two primary.But there’s absolutely no guarantee that Faulconer, should he run, will have the GOP field to himself. An opponent on his right would force him once again to move away from the center or risk antagonizing conservative Republicans.
Faulconer, 54, said he would make up his mind about the 2022 governor’s race sometime early next year. Asked if one factor was whether he saw the campaign devolving into a repeat — bears, celebrity, circus — of the recall’s political burlesque, he responded, “Yeah, of course.” Faulconer chuckled.
