While I may not know what the future holds for me politically, our campaign\u2019s ability to attract millions of votes and millions of dollars in a very short time demonstrates we have a message that resonates with Americans, and I believe we can put that to good use.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Elder led the pack of 46 replacement candidates on the ballot, receiving roughly 3.5 million votes. Elder\u2019s vote total accounted for more than 48 percent of the replacement ballot votes, which was over 30 percent higher than the next closest recall challenger.<\/p>\n<p>Although Newsom received 61.5 percent of the vote in his 2018 election, California voters attempted to recall the governor following his controversial response to the coronavirus pandemic. The recall effort gained steam after Newsom allegedly breached his public health mandates while visiting a restaurant in the Napa Valley, California. Ultimately, 61.9 percent of California voters decided to keep Newsom in office.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Newsom spun the recall effort from focusing on his governance and public health regulations to an election about former President Donald Trump and \u201c<a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/gavin-newsom-warns-trumpism-not-dead-speech-after-landslide-recall-victory-1629209\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trumpism<\/a>.\u201d At one point, Newsom&nbsp;<a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/video\/2021\/08\/18\/pro-newsom_ad_recall_a_matter_of_life_and_death.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">portrayed<\/a>&nbsp;the election as \u201c a matter of life and death.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI said this many, many times on the campaign trail. We may have defeated Trump, but Trumpism is not dead in this country,\u201d Newsom said on recall election night.<\/p>\n<p>Elder\u2019s political action committee will focus its efforts on assisting the GOP in its quest to take back control of the U.S. House of Representatives in the upcoming 2022 midterms.
