California Governor Gavin Newsom to Remain in Office Following Recall Election

California Governor Gavin Newsom will stay in charge after winning yesterday’s recall election in the state. After winning the election Newsom said “no is not the only thing that was expressed tonight, we said yes to science, yes to vaccines, yes to ending this pandemic.” Last year, a group of conservative activists launched the recall election because they disagreed with Newsom’s progressive policy stances. During his campaign leading up to the election, the Governor was joined by President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and Senators Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota.
