In this video, we're breaking down how California went from genuinely competitive to permanent one-party rule, through three decades of Democratic organizing, a cultural revolution in Northern California, and one 1994 ballot measure that handed the state to Democrats and
never gave it back.
We also look at 2024, when 10 California counties flipped red and Trump
gained ground in 45 of 58 counties, and what that actually means for the future of California politics.
California Underground covers the California stories that the rest of the media ignores, following the audits, the contracts, the budgets, and the officials responsible
for outcomes that aren't matching the promises. No team. Just receipts.
