California voters on Tuesday handed Democrat Gavin Newsom a second term as governor, choosing the incumbent over Republican Brian Dahle.
Proposition 1 would amend the state Constitution to add protections for abortion rights.
As a progressive on social issues, abortion rights is among several causes Newsom attached himself to since becoming governor in a landslide victory over Republican businessman John Cox four years ago. Tent encampments along sidewalks and under overpasses have fed a national image of California, which the national and state GOP seized on during the recall election and Dahle blamed Newsom for on the campaign trail. The housing crisis and rising crime seemed to be a potential vulnerability for Newsom, with opinion polls showing that voters were unsatisfied with the direction the state is heading in.
“I think he found his voice in the recall and hasn’t looked back,” Clegg said. “He’s found a different stride.”
