In a blitz of TV ads and a last-minute rally, California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom urged voters to turn back a recall vote that could remove him from office. Republican Larry Elder slammed the media for what he called double standards favoring Newsom.
The sunny, late-summer weekend was a swirl of political activity, as candidates held rallies, continued bus tours and cluttered the TV airwaves with advertising offering their closing arguments in advance of the election that concludes Tuesday.
The governor called Elder desperate and grasping, saying McGowan’s claims about his wife “just shows you how low things go in campaigns these days.” “Do I agree with him on all points? No,” McGowan said. “So what. He is the better candidate. He is the better man.” McGowan, 48, who is known for her role in the “Scream” movie franchise, was one of the earliest of dozens of women to accuse Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein of sexual misconduct, making her a major figure in the #MeToo movement.Elder, who could become the state’s first Black governor, targeted some of his sharpest remarks at what he described as skewed media coverage.
