WASHINGTON – As polls tighten and California political leaders sound the alarm, Democrats in Washington are swooping in to help Gov. Gavin Newsom, giving his anti-recall campaign a big push.
National Democratic stars like Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and Cory Booker have all lent their voices to Newsom’s anti-recall campaign. President Joe Biden released a statement last week urging Californians to vote no on the recall, and Newsom says he anticipates both Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will visit the state to campaign in the coming weeks.
Less than a month after he told the editorial boards of McClatchy’s California papers he didn’t think the party’s national leaders fully appreciated what would happen if he lost, Newsom says he’s now satisfied with the support he’s getting from the party nationally.
