Warren joined Gov. Gavin Newsom in an anti-recall rally at Culver City High School, where she said replacing him could have dire consequences for California
Sen. Elizabeth Warren stood side-by-side with Gov. Gavin Newsom in Culver City on Saturday and urged California voters to reject the effort to recall him from office, calling the top Republican candidate hoping to replace Newsom “California’s own Donald Trump.”
With his political survival in peril, Newsom is leaning on an anti-recall campaign that relies heavily on multimillion-dollar spending on mostly negative ads along with support from Warren and other big-name Democrats, hoping it’s enough to persuade California’s left-leaning voter majority to cast ballots in what could be a tight, low-turnout election.The Massachusetts senator has also been featured in a campaign ad for Newsom, denouncing the recall as a power grab by “Trump Republicans.
“It comes down to you, California. Voting yes in this recall election means installing Larry Elder as governor,” Warren told the crowd. “Voting yes means installing one more Republican governor to undercut women, one more Republican governor to put our children at risk, one more Republican governor to grease the skids for the fossil fuel industry to destroy our planet.”
“It’s perfect. It’s beautiful,” Elder supporter Estrella Harrington said of Elder’s speech after the event, saying the longtime talk radio host had addressed “all the things that we all have concerns about.” A nonpartisan poll finds that 62% of likely women voters approve of California Gov. Gavin Newsom while only 43% of men do.
