In the closing days of the recall effort that could remove Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, his campaign has found a familiar foil that's as big as Texas. In fact, it is Texas.
Vice President Kamala Harris joins California Gov. Gavin Newsom at a rally against the California gubernatorial recall election on Wednesday, Sept. 8, 2021, in San Leandro, Calif. Harris highlighted new abortion restrictions in Texas t offer a contrast between Republican leadership and the Democrat Newsom's approach to reproductive rights. Democrats are working to motivate voters in their party to turn in their ballots.
The last day to vote in the recall is Tuesday and Democrats are using stronger rhetoric to drive their voters to the polls. There are nearly two times as many registered Democrats as Republicans in the state, meaning a strong turnout should enhance Newsom's chances of surviving. The new Texas abortion law prohibits the procedure once medical professionals can detect cardiac activity in a fetus. It took effect Sept. 1 after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to block it.
“Governors matter,” Warren said at a rally with Newsom last weekend after discussing the Texas law. “We can look away while they take women’s rights ... or we can fight back.” Ray Sullivan, who was chief of staff to Perry, said it makes sense for political leaders in the two states to do battle.
