Gov. Newsom speaks after CNN projects he will defeat recall effort: “I’m humbled and grateful to the millions and millions of Californians that exercised their fundamental right to vote, and expressed themselves so overwhelmingly by rejecting the division”
" 'No' is not the only thing that was expressed tonight," Newsom, who will now finish out his term, said Tuesday night."We said yes to science, yes to vaccines, yes to ending this pandemic."Newsom was bolstered by a robust turnout among Democrats, who outnumber Republicans nearly 2 to 1 in the Golden State but had initially appeared disinterested in the race.
Newsom often highlighted the state's high vaccination rate, with about 57% of the state fully vaccinated, and low 7-day case positivity rate, which was 4.4% on Monday, according to the California Department of Health.
