Subscribe
The recall election against the embattled California governor is the sixth such effort brought up since his 2018 win against Republican businessman John Cox, a contender in the 2021 bid.
California's Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom is in the midst of a recall election that could prompt his ouster from the state's governorship, should a majority of voters back the latest initiative.
Although Newsom clinched the governorship in 2018 with 62% of the state's votes, his favorability among Golden State voters took a bit of a tumble after outrage emerged over preventative COVID-19 protocols. Backlash skyrocketed after Newsom was spotted maskless at an exclusive restaurant.
Republican Contenders facing off against Newsom include: Cox, Olympian Caitlyn Jenner, and American conservative radio talk show host Larry Elder.
