Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom Officially To Face Recall, Second In State’s History

California Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom will officially face a recall election this year after petitioners collected enough signatures to force the issue.

California Secretary of State Shirley N. Weber announced on Wednesday that only 43 signatures had been withdrawn statewide from petitions calling for the recall and that the remaining 1,719,900 verified signatures met the threshold to initiate a recall election.
