California voters will decide on Tuesday whether to recall Governor Gavin Newsom in a special election that has pitted the state's majority Democrats against Republican supporters of former President Donald Trump.
Newsom, a first-term governor and former San Francisco mayor, is fighting for his political future in only the second recall election for governor in state history despite 55 attempts.
Recall also could mean the end of Newsom's political ambitions, widely believed to include possible runs for the U.S. Senate or the presidency.by the Institute of Governmental Studies at the University of California, Berkeley, 60.1% of likely voters said they favored retaining the governor and 38.5% opposed him staying in office.
The polls "changed Democrats' mindset from sitting back on the couch to saying, 'This is something we’ve got to do,'" said Paul Mitchell, whose firm Political Data Intelligence analyzed state ballot return information. In the Berkeley poll, he was supported by about 38% of those likely to vote on a replacement. Kevin Paffrath, a Democrat and YouTube host, received 10% support, followed by former Republican San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer at 8%.
Elder made such claims as well. He told reporters in Los Angeles last week, "There may well be shenanigans," according to CNN and other media.
