California Republican gubernatorial candidate on Newsom recall effort: 'Voters have finally woken up here'
Fox News
California businessman and Republican gubernatorial candidate John Cox thinks "voters have finally woken up" in the Golden State, where an effort to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom is well underway.
Another Republican gubernatorial candidate, former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, is leading the recall effort that reached more than 2.1 million signatures in March despite only needing 1.5 million for a recall vote on this year's ballot. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., backed Newsom during a March 25 news conference, when she rejected any notion that Democrats should run a back-up candidate as an insurance policy during Newsom's likely recall election later this year.More Related News
