A follow-up episode of the State Hornet Spotlight podcast features podcast editor Mack Ervin III, Editor-in-Chief Jordan Parker and managing editor Magaly Muñoz giving their immediate reaction following the 2021 California recall election.

The three debate the wider than expected margin of victory, what the future may hold for candidates Larry Elder and Kevin Paffrath and how Gavin Newsom and the Democrats found their mojo to revive his governorship and future political prospects.
