This was not a vote portending some vast sea change; California won’t be turning Republican — or even purple — anytime soon. Absent interest or much voter engagement, cash was king. That and other takeaways from California’s not-momentous primary election https://t.co/XhhlFNZ8XT — PolitiTweet.org

“The state [is] important for Democrats who are looking for any possible way to maintain their majority.The only way they have any hope of doing so is if they win back all those Biden-carried Republican seats." — PolitiTweet.org

Apropos Boudin recall and reading of political tea leaves, a progressive prosecutor in Contra Costa County which is far more politically moderate than SF, faced an opponent who aggressively ran bashing @DADianaBecton as soft on crime. Looks like she'll be easily reelected.🤷‍♂️ — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: Californians are unsettled, anxious and, in some cases, livid. But not enough to vote in even decent-sized numbers. Absent engagement, cash was king in an election that proved an odd mix of anger and apathy. That and other primary takeaways https://t.co/XhhlFNZ8XT — PolitiTweet.org

Alpine County, that speck of blue in rural Republican California, stays true to form. While @GavinNewsom and @AlexPadilla4CA also won its neighboring counties, folks in Alpine voted far more Democratic than Amador, Calaveras, El Dorado and Tuolumne https://t.co/lOGonzd2Lv — PolitiTweet.org
