Gavin Newsom Kicks Off ‘Vote No’ Marketing campaign In San Francisco
One month before California votes on whether or not to remove Governor Gavin Newsom, and days before people get their postal ballots – if they haven’t received yours yet – Newsom is running a four-day campaign tour encouraging voters to, ” Choose No. “
While many people in Newsom state may not like or long for change amid the pandemic crisis, right now with “yes” and “no” voters, almost even in polls, the situation is kind of scary. And given the alternatives on the ballot, Democrats must be afraid to vote against the dismissal and make sure everyone they know votes, as that ultimately comes down to voter turnout. Just a few months ago, Newsom was way ahead in the polls and a clear majority of Californians were happy with his job as governor.
Newsom met with volunteers and held an event in San Francisco on Friday at 10 a.m., KRON4 reports, and it will fly across the state today holding separate events in Los Angeles and San Diego.
The message he’s spreading is that if you don’t vote no, you have a Republican in the governor’s office and very likely a self-proclaimed libertarian radio host and Fox News expert, Larry Elder, who swore all pandemic – Revoke mandates if elected. In case you haven’t heard, Elder, who is black, does not believe in systemic racism and wants to abolish the minimum wage.
That alone should scare everyone into voting.
President Joe Biden today made a strong statement of support for Newsom, and Politico reports that the White House is considering sending him and Vice President Kamala Harris to California to promote the “no” side.
“Governor Newsom is leading California through unprecedented crises,” said Biden. “He is a key partner in fighting the pandemic and providing economic aid to working families, helping us rebuild our economy better than ever. He takes on the climate crisis and campaigns for the rights of women, immigrants and the LGBTQ community. He knows how to get his job done because he did it. And to keep him at work, registered California voters should vote no by September 14th and move California forward. “
Senator Elizabeth Warren previously ran a Stop the Republican Recall ad that you may have seen on television. And more ads from big names in the party may still follow.
According to an exclusive poll, according to KRON4, 46% of voters said they would vote for Newsom’s removal and 48% said they would vote against removal. 6% were undecided which makes this a dead race.
The special elections will take place on September 14th and the early voting will begin on Monday.
