Governor Gavin Newsom just got some more bad news after California voters rejected this Newsom policy

Donald Trump’s victory was not the only major news this election cycle.

Republicans took control of the Senate, kept control of the house, and voters sent a clear signal they are fed up.

And Governor Gavin Newsom just got some more bad news after California voters rejected this Newsom policy.

The 2024 elections were a resounding defeat for the radical left-wing policies of the nation’s Democrats.

Gavin Newsom gets a “shot across the bow”

And this was even true in deep Blue California.

The state’s socialist Governor Gavin Newsom got a clear “shot across the bow” as voters overwhelmingly rejected his pro-crime policies.

And this is after so many other voters have already chosen to vote with their feet and leave the Golden State.

In the November elections, Californians rejected a decade of leftist criminal justice reform measures and defeated many of their champions on Election Day.

They were clearly disgusted with the out-of-control violent crime that has swept the state in recent years.

Voters overwhelmingly rolled back major parts of Proposition 47, which was viewed as soft on crime and was championed by progressive Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón.

Gascón was also defeated.

Radical San Francisco Mayor London Breed was also defeated by a political newcomer who campaigned on public safety.

“You look at just what’s going on in the streets, there’s been serious acts of violence… People have been slashed, stabbed, murdered,” Venice Neighborhood Council Board Member Soledad Ursua said. “I think that Californians are very hopeful because crime is finally illegal again.”

This does not bode well for the political future of Gavin Newsom and other leftists like him.

It was not a good experiment 

And at the federal level, Bay Area native and former U.S. Senator and California Attorney General Kamala Harris lost millions of California voters who had voted for President Joe Biden just four years earlier.

“I think people are angry. People are upset,” recovering homeless addict-turned-activist Tom Wolf told Fox News Digital regarding Harris ceding ground in the Democrat stronghold.

When voters passed Prop 47 in 2014, it downgraded drug possession and thefts of items worth $950 or less from felonies to misdemeanors. 

Critics said the law effectively gave a green-light to both shoplifting and addiction.

Within two years of Prop 47 becoming law, thefts rose 9% across the state.

Retail thefts skyrocketed even more during COVID, with a 28% increase in reported shoplifting of goods worth up to $950 since 2019.

No wonder one of the biggest changes Golden State voters made on Election Day was passing Prop 36.

This was an initiative backed by Republicans, district attorneys, big box stores like Walmart, and especially mom-and-pop shops fed up with shoplifting.

The new law makes thefts of $950 or less a felony again for offenders with two or more past theft convictions. 

It also creates a new “treatment-mandated felony” in which drug offenders could complete treatment rather than going to prison.

“Accountability is a cornerstone of recovery,” said Wolf, who was addicted and living on the streets in San Francisco in 2018. Since entering recovery, the self-described Blue Dog Democrat has called on the left to get tougher on open-air drug use and public safety. “I think we have to start giving people harder choices.”

And harder choices may be exactly what Gavin Newsom is facing going forward.
