If California Gov. Newsom faces recall, Tom Steyer mulling run as ‘fallback’ Democrat: report
Fox News
At least one prominent California Democrat is considering a run for governor if incumbent Gavin Newsom faces a recall later this year, according to a report.
Steyer is on record as opposing a recall of Newsom – but he would run as a "fallback" Democratic candidate if polls suggested Newsom would have trouble fending off the recall and keeping his office, the report said. "The recall efforts in California are a clear attempt by the GOP to take back control of the state and squelch the progressive momentum that swept through 2020 and will carry forward," Steyer has said in a statement, according to FOX 40 of Sacramento. "That’s why I oppose the recall."More Related News
