California Governor Election Results 2022: Live Map | Midterm Races by County

Sen.

Gavin Newsom (D) won the race for California Governor.

Last updated: Dec. 6, 2022 10:34 p.m. EST

As expected, Gov. Gavin Newsom has easily won a second term. Any potential drama evaporated when Newsom crushed last year’s recall – the Democratic governor was confident enough to divert re-election funds to ads in red states. A convincing win certainly won’t mute presidential chatter.
