California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) cruised to victory in a reelection bid that expanded his national profile and sparked questions about his future ambitions.
Newsom beat Republican Brian Dahle by 21 points, with 19% of votes counted, in a race many saw as preordained after the governor’s sound defeat of a recall effort last year.
Instead, Newsom energized the party faithful as he sparred with Republican governors in Texas and Florida and helped boost Democrats in tight races around the country, backed by his own deep coffers.Newsom held a decisive advantage throughout the race and entered the final week with a 20-percentage-point lead against Dahle, according to RealClearPolitics’s polling average.
Among the issues that put Dahle at odds with the state’s largely Democratic electorate was his opposition to Proposition 1, a rule to add abortion protections to the state constitution, a motivating issue for Democrats and some female voters after the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade. While he acknowledged the challenging landscape for Democrats, Newsom argued the party needed to fight harder, telling CBS News that they were “getting crushed on narrative.”
