California Governor Gavin Newsom to remain in office after surviving recall effort

California governor Gavin Newsom will remain in office after surviving Tuesday's recall election. He thanked voters for "rejecting cynicism" and saying "yes" to major issues like immigration rights, women's rights, science and more. Tal Kopan, the San Francisco Chronicle's Washington correspondent, joins CBSN's "Red & Blue" host Elaine Quijano with her analysis.

When my fellow Californians complain about crime, homelessness, housing cost, gas prices, etc. I’ll just tell them to stop complaining because this exactly what they voted for.

[jeanetteparise]

Maybe once he has completely destroyed California things will change.

[funnymann]

Yes, Yes, Yes we can continue to crap on the sidewalks without prosecution. Thank you Newsom

[sammy-gdhw]

California deserves anything and everything it gets. No more sympathy.

[DobaDave]

Putting in a Republican governor would have been pointless anyway. California is too far gone to be saved.

[kathyhoward]

Oh and I’m sure you’re your aunt Nancy Pelosi had nothing to do with that huh

[snipertdogwin]

Of course when mail in ballots are allowed.

I live in Florida. You folks have a better Govonor then we do. Our Govonor does not care who dies from covid. Even children are getting sick enough to be hospitalised. Yet he will not encourage vacines or mask. Bars are all open and crowded. People are dying here every day. Just thought I would share this.

I live in Cali and you have no idea how sad this makes me. We are a state of the blind that has created this and now continues to feed it. No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it. Famous words said by a great man.

[loboblue]

People showed up to vote and found out they already voted. No cheating, of course

[billytarpon]

newsom i'd like to thank all the voters that voted before they came to the voting booth to vote

[Thepercy]

Phones in Texas, Nevada, and Florida realtors offices ringing off the hook today.

Blue winning in the biggest blue state
Shocking
I'm surprised there were even 30%

[eberrodriguez]

Don’t know why us poor people voted for us to remain the same paying high rent, bad education, and bad homeless .

[_nimrod]

Thats it I am leaving the state and no I am not voting for this crap this state is lost.

[therabbi]

I just don't see how Californians can walk around for LA for an hour, see multiple massive homeless camps and be like, "Well this hasn't changed for decades of democrat rule but I'm sure its just around the corner!"

[joerobles]

Wow wow I guess They love him Then again they probably stole it

[andrewgordon]

There's nothing more pathetic then bragging about winning a fixed fight.

[Soma]

Once they show up with pitchforks and torches he will not be able to be governor anymore

[deankenney]

How many voters were actually turned away when they walked in to vote? Being told they had already voted but could not find out how they voted.
