Less than an hour after the polls closed in California on Tuesday night, multiple news outlets projected that the campaign to recall California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom had failed, and he would remain in office.
By 9 pm PT, CBS News, NBC News, and The Associated Press had projected that an overwhelming majority of Californians decided that Newsom was the best option. When the AP estimated that 60% of ballots had been counted, the “no” vote opposing Newsom’s recall led with 66.79% (5,428,113 votes), while 33.21% (2,718,614) wanted the governor to go.
