Republicans Launch Another Recall Attempt Against California Gov. Newsom

Another effort to recall California Gov. Gavin Newsom is underway, just three years after a previous attempt to oust the Democrat from office crashed and burned with voters.

The plan to serve the governor with official recall papers Monday was first reported by Politico. The group behind the effort, Rescue California, shared the article on social media, vowing: “We did it before. We will do it again.”

The citizen-led group is the same one that managed to get a Newsom recall effort on the ballot in 2021, which failed with around 38% of the vote. He won reelection the following year.

“Gavin Newsom has abandoned the state to advance his presidential ambitions, leaving behind a $73 billion budget deficit and a public safety, immigration and education crisis,” Anne Dunsmore, the campaign’s director, told Politico.

Dunsmore did not immediately return HuffPost’s request for comment.
