Newsom’s Team Increasingly Concerned as Latest Recall Effort Reaches Major Milestone

California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom’s team is increasingly concerned over the latest recall effort against the governor, and they should be.

Proponents of the recall say they have collected more than 800,000 signatures of the 1.5 million necessary to trigger a special election. And organizers say signatures are pouring in following the governor’s recent trip to the French Laundry and Newsom’s efforts to lock down the state again.

Business owners and churchgoers have railed against Newsom, and some have said they do not intend to abide by his restrictions this winter.

As Newsom begins his third full year in office, the governor’s team is increasingly concerned with a long-shot conservative recall that could mushroom into a major threat in 2021 if it attracts significant financial support.
