California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom said last week that he has a backup plan if Democrats get locked out of November’s gubernatorial election.
California’s jungle primary system is somewhat unique in that the top two vote-getters advance to the general election despite party affiliation.
This framework, passed over 15 years ago, has consistently benefited Democrats by locking out Republican candidates from federal races. Now that two Republicans are polling well in the governor’s race, Newsom is panicking.
