Newsom Admits Deep State Has Emergency Options to Change Election If It Looks Like GOP Will Win
California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom said last week that he has a backup plan if Democrats get locked out of November’s gubernatorial election.
California’s jungle primary system is somewhat unique in that the top two vote-getters advance to the general election despite party affiliation.
This framework, passed over 15 years ago, has consistently benefited Democrats by locking out Republican candidates from federal races. Now that two Republicans are polling well in the governor’s race, Newsom is panicking.
He has yet to endorse a Democrat successor and had the hubris to say “there is a break-the-glass scenario” if Republicans lock out Democrats, adding that “many people that have a deep understanding of what it would look like if Democrats were locked out” will do “everything to make sure that doesn’t happen.”
Gov. Gavin Newsom said he has a secret “break the glass” plan to prevent California from electing a Republican governor — though he’s stubbornly refused to make an endorsement in the race to succeed him.https://t.co/01rk8j2oed pic.twitter.com/Ol7b7v4o2x

After years of Democrats dominating elections in California, and voters being denied the opportunity to choose between two visions for America, they want to switch it back because they know their constituents are getting fed up.
Democrats have decimated California. It’s an economic mess and has high taxes, high prices, and absurd regulations. It’s also the subject of a fraud investigation by the White House’s anti-fraud task force, led by Vice President J.D. Vance.
Earlier this month, Vance announced the task force would be “deferring $1.3 billion in Medicaid reimbursements from the state of California, and the simple reason is because the state of California has not taken fraud very seriously.”
