JMHO ...the recall was fueled by typical greedy power grabbing gqp who thought if they threw enough money at it, they would win..and the icing on the cake was replacing sen. Feinstein and handing control of the senate back to the gqp

5. The Sept 14 recall of Gov. Newsom is a bold-faced Republican power grab," Sanders charges in the ad

Sen. Bernie Sanders is taking aim at the effort to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom of California as "a bold-faced Republican power grab" in a new TV commercial and digital ad supporting the embattled Democratic governor.

The running of the statewide spot comes with just 15 days to go until California’s Sept. 14 recall election, with the latest public opinion polls suggesting that those likely to cast ballots are divided on whether to recall Newsom.

"At this unprecedented moment in American history, when we’re trying to address the crisis of climate change, guarantee health care for all, and pass real immigration reform, the last thing we need is to have some right-wing Republican governor in California," the longtime senator from Vermont says in the spot, speaking directly to camera.

"The Sept. 14 recall of Gov. Newsom is a bold-faced Republican power grab," Sanders charges in the ad. "Don't let it happen. Please, return your ballot or vote no in person by Sept. 14."

2. No. The recall is a republican strategy because ideology they disagree with the Governor's

ideology, not because of any wrongdoing

This is their third recall attempt, and the only reason it got enough signatures this time is because they found a jackass judge to extend the deadline for signatures 3 extra months

California needs to change their recall process, and at a minimum require 25% of signatures instead of 11%, and have the Lt Governor assume the Governorship if a recall is successful

This recall is costing the state 250 million plus

It is simply because they want a repuke, and they can’t win it through a normal election

It is as simple as that

Repukes constantly do this, we just don’t hear about it because they usually do get enough signatures

6. I wish that when people say Congress isn't doing anything they'd specify REPUBLICANS aren't.
