The governor’s campaign has released other anti-recall ads featuring Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren in recent weeks.
Former President Barack Obama has joined a group of high-profile Democrats in supporting California Governor Gavin Newsom ahead of next week’s gubernatorial recall election. Obama appeared in an ad Newsom’s campaign released this week to encourage Californians to vote against the recall effort. First shared on social media by Newsom and his Stop the Republican Recall campaign on Wednesday, the ad was set to officially launch on Thursday. Obama also encouraged California voters to reject the recall effort in a Wednesday afternoon tweet. Obama began the Newsom ad by telling California voters they have „a big choice to make“ by September 14, the date of the recall election. „Governor Newsom has spent the past year-and-a-half protecting California communities. Now, Republicans are trying to recall him from office and overturn common-sense COVID safety measures for health care workers and school staff,“ Obama said.
