I remember a Hill article that had one section slightly criticizing all of the major candidates (Jenner, Cox, Kiley, and Elder).
Jenner: Has other obligations; in Australia filming rather than campaigning hard.
Cox: A loser in an actual governor's race.
Kiley: The last time a San Diego mayor became governor, the CA GOP got destroyed. Really specific shit.
Elder: Trump supporter lol
Here's some slight (and likely) TES, yet it is debate-worthy. Elder recently came out saying that he believes that Biden truly won the 2020 Election. So I'm thinking, is this the hill MAGA wants to die on? The man's policies are sound and he likes Trump, but that opinion doesn't pass the loyalty test.
It's a recall, so you can always vote for someone else, and if Elder wins but is just Schwarzenegger v2, just leave him to drop next year lol. But what do you think, guys?
