This thread gave me flashbacks to when folks were all verklempt about California because it swung 2 points to Trump in 2020
I mean it's obviously not going to flip statewide, but especially when you consider that Harris was from CA, it's likely that 2018 was the Dem peak for the foreseeable future .
1. Harris wasn't even doing well in CA primary polls before she dropped out. I bet most folks didn't even know she was our Senator (Much like Padilla). The only statewide political figures that most CA voters know are Newsom & Feinstein.
2. It's just as likely Newsom improves his 2018/2021 numbers and the CA GOP holds a smaller percentage of Sacramento/House seats by 2028 compared to 2018.
