Political scientist Mindy Romero, director of USC’s Center for Inclusive Democracy, said the lingering aftereffects of Newsom’s COVID-19 policies probably made some voters who supported him in the 2018 election indifferent this time around.

He was able to get Democrats interested again in the election.”Gilliard said.
A half hour after the polls closed, Jenner addressed a crowd of her supporters gathered at the Stonehaus, an upscale restaurant and wine bar in Westlake Village, acknowledging her disappointment in early election results but thanking her supporters for such a positive reaction to her candidacy.
