The results were almost identical to the Biden win a couple years ago, not far from a 2 to 1 obliteration.

They definitely need to reform the recall. 276 million dollars just to reaffirm 2018. A candidate with a hypothetical minority vote shouldn't be able to beat an incumbent who got more votes to remain in office than the minority candidate got to take the office.
