AP has called the race for Governor Gavin Newsom.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — If you’re having trouble viewing results, click here for our overall elections results page.

Update:

The Associated Press has called the race for California Governor. Gavin Newsom has locked in another four years as California's governor.

Original:

Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom won a decisive blowout in 2018, then beat back a recall attempt last September by a nearly identical margin. As he pursues a second and final four-year term, Newsom faces Brian Dahle, a Republican legislator from rural Northern California.

Even with some voters souring on the governor’s performance, it will take a miracle to unseat Newsom and his $25 million campaign war chest in this overwhelmingly Democratic state. He won 56% of the vote in the June primary, and in an August poll led Dahle by 55% to 31% among likely voters.
