California Gov. Gavin 온라인 바카라 게임om on Tuesday emphatically defeated a recall aimed at kicking him out of office early, a contest the Democrat framed as part of a national battle for his party바카라 게임 웹사이트�s values in the face of the coronavirus pandemic and continued threats from 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Trumpism.바카라 게임 웹사이트�온라인 바카라 게임om bolted to a quick victory boosted by healthy turnout in the overwhelmingly Democratic state. He cast it as a win for science, women바카라 게임 웹사이트�s rights and other liberal issues, and it ensures the nation바카라 게임 웹사이트�s most populous state will remain in Democratic control as a laboratory for progressive policies.바카라 게임 웹사이트�바카라 게임 웹사이트�No바카라 게임 웹사이트� is not the only thing that was expressed tonight,바카라 게임 웹사이트� 온라인 바카라 게임om said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�I want to focus on what we said 바카라 게임 웹사이트�yes바카라 게임 웹사이트� to as a state: We said yes to science, we said yes to vaccines, we said yes to ending this pandemic.바카라 게임 웹사이트�With about 60% of ballots counted, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�no바카라 게임 웹사이트� on the question of whether to recall 온라인 바카라 게임om was ahead by a 2-to-1 margin. That massive lead was built on votes cast by mail and in advance of Tuesday바카라 게임 웹사이트�s in-person balloting. While likely to shrink somewhat in the days ahead as votes cast at polling places are counted, the lead that 온라인 바카라 게임om took among votes cast before Election Day 바카라 게임 웹사이트� which were counted first Tuesday night 바카라 게임 웹사이트� was insurmountable.Republican talk radio host Larry Elder almost certainly would have replaced 온라인 바카라 게임om had the recall succeeded, bringing a polar opposite political worldview, though he would have had to contend with a Legislature dominated by Democrats.The recall turned on 온라인 바카라 게임om바카라 게임 웹사이트�s approach to the pandemic, including mask and vaccine mandates, and Democrats cheered the outcome as evidence voters approve of their approach. The race also was a test of whether opposition to former President Donald Trump and his right-wing politics remains a motivating force for Democrats and independents, as the party looks ahead to midterm elections next year. Republicans had hoped for proof that frustrations over months of pandemic precautions would drive voters away from Democrats. The GOP won back four U.S. House seats last year, success that Republican leaders had hoped indicated revived signs of life in a state controlled by Democrats for more than a decade. But a recall election is an imperfect barometer 바카라 게임 웹사이트� particularly of national trends. Democrats outnumber Republicans nearly 2-to-1 in California, so the results may not translate to governors in toss-up states or reflect how voters will judge members of Congress next year.Trump, who had largely stayed out of the contest, made unsubstantiated claims that the election was rigged in the closing days, claims echoed by Elder's campaign. Elder did not mention fraud as he addressed his supporters after the results were in.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Let바카라 게임 웹사이트�s be gracious in defeat. We may have lost the battle, but we are going to win the war,바카라 게임 웹사이트� he said, later adding that the recall has forced Democrats to focus on issues such as homelessness and California바카라 게임 웹사이트�s high cost of living.온라인 바카라 게임om for months had likened the recall to efforts by Trump and his supporters to overturn the presidential election and a push in Republican-led states to restrict voting access.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Democracy is not a football, you don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t throw it around. It바카라 게임 웹사이트�s more like 바카라 게임 웹사이트� I don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t know 바카라 게임 웹사이트� an antique vase,바카라 게임 웹사이트� 온라인 바카라 게임om said after his win. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�You can drop it, smash it into a million different pieces 바카라 게임 웹사이트� and that바카라 게임 웹사이트�s what we바카라 게임 웹사이트�re capable of doing if we don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t stand up to meet the moment and push back.바카라 게임 웹사이트�He became the second governor in U.S. history to defeat a recall, cementing him as a prominent figure in national Democratic politics and preserving his prospects for a future run. Republican Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker survived a recall in 2012.California voters were asked two questions: Should 온라인 바카라 게임om be recalled, and, if so, who should replace him? Only a handful of the 46 names on the replacement ballot had public recognition, but most failed to gain traction with voters.Elder entered the race just three months ago and quickly rose to the top of the pack. But that allowed 온라인 바카라 게임om to turn the campaign into a choice between the two men, rather than a referendum on his performance.온라인 바카라 게임om seized on Elder바카라 게임 웹사이트�s opposition to the minimum wage and abortion rights as evidence he was outside the mainstream in California. The governor branded him 바카라 게임 웹사이트�more extreme than Trump,바카라 게임 웹사이트� while President Joe Biden, who campaigned for 온라인 바카라 게임om, called him 바카라 게임 웹사이트�the closest thing to a Trump clone I바카라 게임 웹사이트�ve ever seen.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Though the contest didn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t quite bring the circus-like element of California바카라 게임 웹사이트�s 2003 recall 바카라 게임 웹사이트� when voters replaced Democratic Gov. Gray Davis with Republican movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger 바카라 게임 웹사이트� it featured quirky moments of its own.Reality TV star and former Olympian Caitlyn Jenner entered the race but gained little momentum and left the state for part of the campaign to film a reality show in Australia. Businessman John Cox, who lost badly to 온라인 바카라 게임om in 2018, tried to spice up his campaign by hiring a live bear to join him, branding himself as the 바카라 게임 웹사이트�beast바카라 게임 웹사이트� to 온라인 바카라 게임om바카라 게임 웹사이트�s 바카라 게임 웹사이트�beauty.바카라 게임 웹사이트�온라인 바카라 게임om will soon be campaigning again; he's up for reelection next year.Orrin Heatlie, the Republican who launched the recall effort last year, cast it as a 바카라 게임 웹사이트�David and Goliath바카라 게임 웹사이트� battle and said it was telling that 온라인 바카라 게임om had called on national Democrats like Biden to 바카라 게임 웹사이트�salvage his damaged political career.바카라 게임 웹사이트�The president and other prominent Democrats offered 온라인 바카라 게임om support in the race바카라 게임 웹사이트�s closing days, while national Republican leaders largely kept the contest at arm바카라 게임 웹사이트�s length.The recall needed 1.5 million signatures to make the ballot out of California's 22 million registered voters. It never would have come before voters if a judge hadn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t given organizers four extra months to gather signatures due to the pandemic. That decision came the same day 온라인 바카라 게임om attended a maskless dinner at the lavish French Laundry restaurant with lobbyists and friends, stirring outcry.Supporters of the recall expressed frustration over monthslong business closures and restrictions that kept most children out of classrooms. Rising homicides, a homelessness crisis and an unemployment fraud scandal further angered 온라인 바카라 게임om바카라 게임 웹사이트�s critics.But the broader public stayed on his side. Polling from the Public Policy Institute of California showed his approval rating remaining above 50% throughout the pandemic. With weeks to go, the institute바카라 게임 웹사이트�s poll showed 60% of Californians approved of 온라인 바카라 게임om바카라 게임 웹사이트�s handling of the pandemic.The rise of the highly contagious delta variant led 온라인 바카라 게임om to frame the race as one of 바카라 게임 웹사이트�life or death바카라 게임 웹사이트� consequences. He pointed to Texas and Florida, which were seeing worsening surges as their Republican governors rejected mask and vaccine mandates, as cautionary tales for what California could become.온라인 바카라 게임om has been viewed as a potential White House contender since at least 2004, when he defied federal law to issue marriage licenses to LGBT couples as mayor of San Francisco. His victory maintained those prospects, though he will still have to navigate around the ambitions of Harris, who came up through San Francisco politics alongside 온라인 바카라 게임om.He came to the contest with advantages. California바카라 게임 웹사이트�s electorate is less Republican, less white and younger than it was in 2003, when voters booted the Democratic Davis. 온라인 바카라 게임om was allowed to raise unlimited funds, dwarfing his competitors while flooding TV screens with advertising. Public worker unions and business and tech executives poured millions into his campaign. ___Associated Press writers Julie Watson in San Diego, Jocelyn Gecker in Lafayette and Don Thompson in Roseville contributed.
