This old article from last year said Gov. Nuisance locked CA down so that there couldn't be campaigning by R candidates for Congress seats in 2020. https://californiaglobe.com/section-2/is-politics-the-reason-gov-newsom-is-keeping-california-locked-down/ and that it was on Pelosi's orders to hold onto the state already overrun by dems rule. Now that Gov. Nuisance has a RECALL to contend with, he decided that California will NOT reopen as normal in June. This should prevent campaigning by a new governor candidate. California’s COVID state of emergency won’t end on June 15, Gavin Newsom says https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article251907083.html "Newsom and other state officials for weeks have careful to note that the COVID-19 situation could change. Vaccination supply, virus variants and human compliance are all factors that could affect the public safety and require the state to reinstate the restrictions it has slowly been rolling back." Under the CA recall procedures, after getting enough signatures, there is a period of 30 days when the other side can ask people to withdraw their signature, and apparently that withdrawal period will go thru the middle of June. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-04-26/when-is-newsoms-california-recall-election-its-unclear After much delays, the election would be in November. Gov Nuisance has every motive now to keep CA locked down so no one can campaign against him through the November recall election date. We can hope there is a good possibility to get a R governor https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/06/every-state-audited-california-3000-votes-recorded-empty-dorm-building/ "Numerous individuals have told us California did not go to Biden. For one, millions of Californians loved President Trump. There were rallies all across the state before the election for President Trump but there were none for Biden. The other reason is that Californians hated their evil Governor whose actions related to COVID were insane."
