The California governor's latest campaign ad puts the upcoming election in blunt terms: “What's at stake in the Sept. 14 recall? It's a matter of life and death.'
The California governor talks about his $2 billion wildfire plan, the upcoming recall election and more.SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- California Gov. Gavin Newsom is using increasingly stark language as he campaigns in the final month of a tight recall, calling it “a matter of life or death" that voters keep him in office and he is increasingly targeting a single Republican candidate: talk show host Larry Elder.
Newsom's latest campaign ad, released Monday, puts the election in blunt terms: “What's at stake in the Sept. 14 recall? It's a matter of life and death," the narrator says. The ad calls Elder “the top Republican candidate" and highlights his opposition to mask and vaccine mandates. Newsom has found his foil in Elder, who does not support the minimum wage or abortion rights and has used his nationally syndicated radio show as a platform for conspiracy theories involving the coronavirus vaccine.
Voters will answer two questions: Should Newsom be recalled, yes or no? If so, who should replace him? They have 46 candidates to choose from on the second question. If a majority of voters want to remove him, the replacement candidate with the highest number of voters becomes governor, even if they fall far short of a majority.
In East Los Angeles during the weekend, Newsom appealed to Latino voters, reminding them he appointed Alex Padilla as the state’s first Latino U.S. senator and expanded health care access for immigrants living in the country illegally. Elder, he warned, would strip away that progress. “Communicating that message is OK, but don’t spend all your chips doing that when you’ve got to actually get people to return the ballot,” Allison said of the focus on Elder.
