California recall campaign hits high gear as Newsom tries to rally base

With voters beginning to receive ballots and election day less than a month away, California's historic recall campaign kicked into high gear with Gov. Gavin Newsom rallying the crucial labor and Latino vote and his Republican challengers stepping up their attacks.

The ground campaign is expected to be crucial in the coming weeks, with Democrats acknowledging they need a big turnout in the special election to blunt motivated Republicans.

The surge in campaign activity coincided with the arrival of the first ballots in mailboxes across Los Angeles County. Over the next few days, all of California's 22 million voters will receive a ballot for the monthlong election period that ends Sept. 14.

The ground campaign is expected to be crucial in the coming weeks, with Democrats acknowledging they need a big turnout in the special election to blunt motivated Republicans.

The surge in campaign activity coincided with the arrival of the first ballots in mailboxes across Los Angeles County. Over the next few days, all of California's 22 million voters will receive a ballot for the monthlong election period that ends Sept. 14.

While Newsom's GOP challengers have been on the campaign trail for several weeks, the Democratic governor has instead focused on official events highlighting his administration's pandemic-related efforts. But his weekend events in Southern California were intended not so much to tout accomplishments as to sound a warning about the direction of the state should a majority of voters choose to recall him from office.

The governor was not the only one seeking to point out the importance of the election for Latino voters. Former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, who also made a campaign swing through L.A. County, chose a different set of issues — blasting the incumbent’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, law enforcement and homelessness as failures that have disproportionately affected Latino and Black communities.

“The unfortunate reality is that our Latino and our Black residents are the ones that are bearing the brunt of these failed policies on crime that Gavin Newsom has made,” Faulconer said Friday in Covina, repeating an accusation that the governor “enabled” the movement aimed at defunding police departments by never coming out against it.

Newsom has said he does not support eliminating the police, but he has advocated for limiting officers’ use of force and other, more progressive measures.

Gathered under a tent in a lively show of support for Newsom were several dozen members of the Service Employees International Union, a group that included healthcare workers, fast-food workers, janitors and child-care providers who have withstood the virus on the front lines.

“I can’t comprehend how we even ended up with a recall election, knowing and seeing everything Newsom has done for us,” said Mayra Castaneda, 41, an emergency-room ultrasound technician from Lynwood. “This virus was such a difficult situation, something no leader had seen before.”

Castaneda said that like many healthcare workers, she was forced to wear the same disposable mask, gown and head covering day after day at the start of the pandemic, until Newsom and other Democrats pushed legislation requiring hospitals to stockpile protective gear. She also cited Newsom's efforts last year to offer healthcare workers free hotel stays to prevent family members from being exposed to the virus.

As labor representatives lined the stage to welcome Newsom, Castaneda sat in the front row in her neon-colored tennis shoes, ready to spend the day canvassing door to door to support the governor.


Forty-six candidates' names appear on the ballot as potential replacements for Newsom. The recall asks voters to answer two separate questions: Should Newsom be removed from office, and if he is, who should serve the final year of his current term. Voters who choose to keep Newsom as governor by voting "no" on the first question can still select a replacement candidate on the second question if the recall prevails. Even so, the governor has urged Democrats to skip the replacement contest — and did so again Saturday.

"One question. One answer. No on the recall. Move on. Send in the ballot," Newsom said during the event in El Sereno. "We’ve got to turn out the vote and remind people of the consequences.”

The governor aimed his sharpest critiques at Larry Elder, the conservative talk radio host and leading replacement candidate in recent polls. While Elder has appeared frequently on national TV programs, he has held very few public events. On Friday, the Republican hosted a Zoom press conference at which questions were limited to those asked by representatives of small media outlets.

At his Saturday events, Newsom likened Elder to former President Trump.

I don't have cable, but I do have a Roku. I quit streaming Fox last year, but last night took a look at them and several other news outlets to get info on Afghanistan. Guess what commercial I saw in between EVERY Fox video?

Yup, it was Liz Warren encouraging people to vote NO on their mail in ballot, to NOT recall Newsom. I guess they figure that only leftists are watching Fox now.

That’d be fine with me, this place needs more raw meat to pulverize.

He would never show up here,myself being able to tell him what I freely think about him without getting nasty grams from over there would not be pleasant for him.
Born and raised there and the change I saw with my own eyes was disgusting.I truly live in the land of the free or otherwise I would die.
Best state motto ever.
