Still, this is a very bold move by him and it really only has political downsides. I'm sure people are firing up a recall effort right now. It could be that the balance is shifting and a referendum would turn against it, but Newsom is definitely leading here and not just following.
If When Newsom runs for President I won't forget this. It's not just about the DP. He has principles and he's acting on them.
