Share this if you’ve already voted NO on the California recall (or if you’ve reminded your California friends & fam to vote! ✔️) Having racked up deep pocket donations from Disney and other studios through the Motion Picture Association, plus Comcast and a slew of individual Tinseltown donors, Newsom garnered get-out-the-No-vote backing from some big names today: President Joe Biden campaigned for Newsom on Monday night, giving a speech in which he said that Elder was a Trump “clone.” Democrats haven’t missed many opportunities to make the race as a kind of proxy battle between Biden and Trump, who remains an unpopular figure in the state. On Tuesday, following a rally in San Francisco, Newsom told NBC News, “They are quite literally trying to dismantle democracy and trust in this country, in this very nation.” The governor said the irony was that it was “going to hurt the Republican Party because they are telling their voters their vote doesn’t matter. He might be helping to motivate his own MAGA supporters with new claims and conspiracy theories - or it might end up depressing turnout among Republicans. The question is whether Trump’s involvement in the race will be a help or a hindrance to the recall’s prospects. Elder and other Republicans have hammered Newsom and Sacramento Democrats on taxes and regulation. In the state that elected Ronald Reagan to Sacramento twice, Republicans gauge the economy as the top issue in the tax-heavy region, even as things have picked up considerably in recent months out of the health crisis and public coffers are almost overflowing.
Even though it was Newsom’s handling of the pandemic response that initially fueled the recall, the exit polls gave him some reason for optimism, as it showed that 39% believed that the coronavirus situation was getting better, 30% thought it was staying the same and 24% thought it was getting worse. Homelessness and the economy follow, with far less of a hold on the public consciousness.
According to CNN, exit polls tonight from Edison Research showed that the coronavirus as the most important issue to Golden State residents in the recall.
