California Governor Gavin Newsom survived one recall attempt, but he may soon be in for another battle for his governorship. California voters have had enough of Newsom’s progressive policies, and a group named Rescue California has brought forth another effort to recall him. The Hill’s Nick Robertson reports:
A group of California conservative activists launched a recall bid against Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) Monday, the fifth attempt to kick him out of office.
“Governor Newsom has abandoned the state to advance his Presidential ambitions, leaving behind a $68 Billion budget deficit and a public safety, immigration and education crisis,” organizers with Rescue California wrote on their site.
The governor has raised his profile in recent months, becoming a key surrogate for President Biden’s reelection campaign amid speculation that he could one day mount a future White House bid.
Rescue California is the same group that led a 2021 recall effort that acquired enough signatures to head to a vote. Newsom easily defeated the recall at the ballot box by a 23-point margin over conservative radio host Larry Elder.
Despite falling short in 2021, the group is committed to sending Newsom packing in its second attempt.
