Why Did Elder Lose California Recall? Conservatives Offer Up Explanations.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom survived the recall election but given the “mountain of money” that was poured into the race and how many big name Democrats came out to stump from him, including President Biden, it was clear GOP candidate Larry Elder presented a real threat. Plus, Newsom had plenty of reasons to be anxious about the recall, as The Atlantic noted.

So what went wrong for Elder? Some argued a big factor was voter turnout.

On social media, comparisons were drawn between voter turnout numbers from Tuesday’s recall to the 2020 election. 

In 2020, then President Trump turned out more than 6 million votes in the state, while Elder has turned out 3.3 million as of Wednesday morning, with 68 percent of the votes in. 

Others noted that the last successful California recall was a "fluke" and the state is far too blue at this point to elect a Republican.

The Daily Wire's Ben Shapiro advised the remaining conservatives in the state to "get out while the getting is good." He speaks from experience, as the conservative media company moved its headquarters from Los Angeles to Nashville, Tennessee, last year.

Other California Republicans said the outcome only further lights a fire under them to fight.
