Elder has Newsom to help him with Republicans, and Newsom leans on Elder’s help to beat the recall, columnist George Skelton writes.
Gov. Gavin Newsom and radio talk host Larry Elder are fierce enemies in the recall election. But they’re also valued allies who rely on each other.The more the liberal Democratic governor — and throw in the so-called “mainstream media” with him — attack the Republican conservative, the stronger he becomes among GOP voters.
Maybe they’re just now waking up to the fact that there’s this weird special election happening. And maybe they’re being jarred by Newsom ringing the alarm about Elder while making him — along with Trumpism — the symbol of the entire Republican-led recall movement.Elder’s effort to replace Gavin Newsom feels like an insult to Blackness.

The fodder includes a former fiancée who says he checked whether a revolver was loaded during a heated argument. HeAnd there’s a long list of conservative positions on public policy — including opposition to abortion rights and the minimum wage — that don’t play well in socially liberal California.
