California Gov. Newsom sharpens message as Larry Elder poses threat in recall race
CNN
As he hit the campaign trail this weekend to fight the Republican-led effort to oust him, California Gov. Gavin Newsom leaned into the microphone with a message for all the disengaged Democrats who might be inclined to ignore the September 14 recall election.
"Though we defeated Trump, we didn't defeat Trumpism. Trumpism is still alive and well, even here in the state of California," Newsom said, standing before tables full of phone-banking volunteers at Hecho en Mexico restaurant. "If you don't believe me, just consider ... the likely person to enter an oath of office, to enter in the governor's office in just a matter of weeks if we don't reject this recall." He then asked them to imagine the fate of their most urgent policy priorities if he is replaced by Larry Elder, the conservative talk radio host who quickly became his most formidable GOP opponent after a late entry to the race. Newsom ticked through an array of Elder's positions that stand in direct contradiction to the views of a majority of Californians: the Republican's opposition to a minimum wage and the assault weapons ban; his past skepticism about the climate crisis and his support for off-shore drilling; and Elder's eye-popping observation on gender in a 2000 column in Capitalism Magazine, in which he wrote that "women know less than men about political issues, economics and current events."
