California Gov. Gavin Newsom, basking in the vindication of Tuesday’s recall election, said his success proved that Democrats need to ‘lean in’ to coronavirussafety restrictions.
‘What I’m saying here is, be affirmative,’ Newsom said, asked by CBS what he would tell national Democrats.
‘Don’t be timid. Lean in. Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about formal authority of setting the tone and tenor on masks — on vaccines and masks. But it’s the moral authority that we have: that we’re on the right side of history and we’re doing the right thing to save people’s lives.’
