Newsom’s political survival hinges on how Californians feel about their lives and their governor in the fall when they will probably cast their ballots. And already, voters are more confident about the future — and Newsom — as vaccinations increase in the state and more people begin to envision a return to normal life. “It’s been an extraordinarily challenging year,” Newsom said Thursday at a vaccine clinic at the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza. The recent arrival of the single-shot J&J vaccine in California, which received Food and Drug Administration approval in February, provides the opportunity for the state to inoculate residents more quickly. A governor who attended a fancy dinner and sends his children to private school simply didn’t have that luxury.”
