The lack of enthusiasm for removing Gavin Newsom is growing by the day. I wonder how much of this change is being driven by revulsion for the publicly expressed opinions of Larry Elder, who is currently far in the polling lead of the replacement candidates with 26%.
In recent days, Elder, who is Black, suggested that reparations could go to slave owners because of the loss of their property, He has a history of totally opposing Medicare, the minimum wage, gun control, climate change and choice and insists there is neither racial nor sexual discrimination or any gender wage gap. Not exactly in step with the 7th most liberal state in the nation.
