California Gov. Gavin Newsom poised for victory in upcoming recall election as polls swing sharply i

[hookaleft]

Gavin Newsom is the second California governor to ever face a recall election and is likely to be the first to survive one.

All eyes are on the Golden State ahead of Tuesday’s recall election, a fast-approaching deadline for registered voters in California to vote by mail or in person.

The Democratic governor has spent months vigorously campaigning against the recall effort, which he has characterized as a radical GOP power grab that has left his career and California’s future hanging in the balance.

With his more than $70 million war chest, Newsom has blanketed airwaves and digital spaces with anti-recall ads featuring prominent Democrats such as Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and former President Barrack Obama. The governor has also made numerous campaign stops across the state to directly reach Democratic voters, and is even set to campaign alongside President Joe Biden in Long Beach late Monday.

1. Go outside turnaround three times and spit. What the hell is a matter with you?

[PatSeg]

14. Oh yeah, I remember that

No point in taking chances!

[Lovie777]

2. Vote no .....

[MontanaMama]

3. I won't relax until California

shuts this thing down with a decisive NO on the recall.

[SoCalDavidS]

4. Check Back At 11:00 PM EST Tuesday

They're going to call this one pretty quick.

[2naSalit]

7. Same here...

It's just about as anxiety inducing as the presidential election.

Pretty much everything is dependent upon this. It could define the Senate if Difi decides to retire or her health removes her from the Senate. That would be a disaster.

[Merlot]

10. I won't relax until they change the recall qualifications

Wednesday morning (if we win : )) I will be sending emails to both my congress critters asking what needs to be done to make this system less subject to the whims of people with a lot of money and no other grievance than "my guy didn't win."

[PatSeg]

15. The whole recall process has got to go

If a governor is that bad, then impeach him/her. Otherwise vote them out in the next election. I can see no valid reason for these ridiculous recall elections. Most of the California referendums and initiatives need to go as well.

[MontanaMama]

25. This.

Thank you.

[PatSeg]

30. You are welcome

I lived in California for nine years and the referendums and initiatives were ridiculous. Other than that, voting in California was great. They really made it convenient and easy.

[Merlot]

31. True, but I believe recall and referendums are in the State Constitution

so how do they get changed? Can the legislature do it or is it put it up as a referendum?

I'd love to see a referendum to get rid of referendumbs.

5. Hope people don't get overconfident and neglect to vote...

I remember all-too-well the Democratic primary in Massachusetts in 1978, where Dukakis had an overwhelming lead in the polls against a far-right DINO – until election night when after notably low turnout, the DINO ousted Duke as our nominee.

[Marius25]

6. I'm so nervous about this recall. I think Newsom will win

but Larry Elder is seriously sick in the head. A bonafide black white supremacist.

[2naSalit]

8. He is that.

I could never wrap my head around their actual existence and couldn't pinpoint where they were coming from. This guy removes all doubt about their existence, the other, I don't know.

[BlueStater]

9. Just remember that "President Trump" (🤮) was never supposed to happen according to polling.

I won’t do a victory lap until it’s definitively over.

[Catherine Vincent]

11. Gosh I hope so

This recall shouldn't have happened in the first place.

Elder is a fast talking con man.

[bluestarone]

12. Hope this is true!!

I'm hoping California people know that if Newsom is removed, it's like throwing a huge LIFELINE to Qrump! Please help Gov. Newsom win BIGTIME!!

[MustLoveBeagles]

13. Good news but don't take it for granted

Vote !

[Ford_Prefect]

16. I better not hear anything about a recount or faked ballots on this one.

[Progressive Jones]

28. Oh, we will. That's how rightwads operate now. They will whine about every loss. nt

[Tikki]

17. I seem to remember elder in the early 1990's..he was a nut job

then.

He has little appeal outside the right wingers.

But some will vote for him without knowing what he actually stands for just like they did with schwarzenegger.

Fools...

Tikki

[yaesu]

18. in states like ca fascists only hope is low turnout, that is their only weapon

other than msm, big money.

[FreeState]

19. Every Democrat on my street has voted

I didn’t ask the one lone republican at the end of the street

[tavernier]

23. Yes, no reminders.

Perhaps anonymously send him a pizza and a case of beer. He’ll be too busy partying to go to the polls.

[Traildogbob]

20. Cyber Ninjas and the pillow guy

Are on the way to Cali. Trump will be in Orange County by Wednesday for a rally. Stop the Steal. Billions of illegal Mexicans were welcomed across the wide open Cali border. Newsom sent buses. Soros provided thousand of taco trucks at election sites for lines.

[Mr.Bill]

26. Difference is they won't find a state legislature

that will cooperate with their bullshit.

[Traildogbob]

27. That is great to know

Cause GQP gonna scream.

[honest.abe]

21. Tomorrow looks like a blowout for Newsome and the credit goes to Texas.

The overreach by the GOP in Texas with their absurd abortion legislation and then the SCOTUS essentially backing them has shocked Democrats and Independents into realizing what the Republicans are capable of if allowed to control our government.

[StarfishSaver]

22. This is great news. But I won't be comfortable with this until the counting's done ...

[ecstatic]

24. Perfect way to decrease turnout

And then the same outlets will be wondering what happened if the results don't go as expected

[smirkymonkey]

29. K&R
