Obama says California recall vote is difference between protecting our kids and putting them at risk
Former President Barack Obama urges Californians to reject the recall effort targeting Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom in a television ad released on Wednesday, telling voters that the outcome of Tuesday's recall election could be the difference "between protecting our kids and putting them at risk."
The ad is the latest example of high-profile national Democrats, from Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren to Vice President Kamala Harris, coming to Newsom's defense. President Joe Biden is expected to travel to California early next week to campaign for the governor.
"You've got a big choice to make by September 14. Governor Newsom has spent the past year and a half protecting California communities. Now Republicans are trying to recall him from office and overturn common-sense Covid safety measures for health care workers and school staff," Obama says, with an image of Larry Elder, Newsom's leading Republican opponent, and former President Donald Trump flashing on the screen.
"Your vote could be the difference between protecting our kids and putting them at risk, helping Californians recover or taking us backwards," Obama says in the straight-to-camera ad. "Protect California by voting 'no' on the Republican recall."
