Housing and homelessness are worse, but now we have the pandemic and the mismanagement that\u2019s gone on during this whole thing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe\u2019ve got small businesses that have been crushed, while Costco and Home Depot and big chains are doing just fine. We also have our kids being kept out of school and being kept out of activities,\u201d explained Cox.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cox said the \u201clast straw,\u201d however, has been California\u2019s vaccine distribution system. According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/graphics\/covid-vaccine-tracker-global-distribution\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bloomberg News<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, California has only administered 60.6% of the COVID-19 vaccine doses they\u2019ve been provided by the federal government. Far more successful states, such as West Virginia, have administered 86% of the vaccine doses they have been provided.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThere are seniors all across this state that are facing, literally, life and death if they don\u2019t get this vaccine,\u201d said Cox, who emphasized that California\u2019s 6,000 pharmacies should have been leveraged for COVID-19 vaccine distribution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He added: \u201cIt\u2019s just one of a series of just instances of mismanagement the politicians, being led by Gavin Newsom, have visited upon us and it\u2019s got to change. I\u2019m just not sitting back and watching this, I\u2019m going to actually do something about it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In recent months, the recall effort against Newsom has been gaining momentum. While it has not yet qualified for the ballot, should it ultimately succeed, Newsom would be only the third governor in American history to be recalled.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Former California Governor Gray Davis (D), the only living governor to be recalled, recently told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/01\/11\/gavin-newsom-california-scramble-fallen-apart-456665\">Politico<\/a> that Newsom was dealing with a \u201ctougher hand\u201d than anyone else in politics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cLook, I had the energy crisis and a recession,\u201d said Davis. \u201cHe has a pandemic we haven\u2019t seen for 100 years. He has the fallout from that pandemic, racial injustice, wildfires, and I think I\u2019m leaving something out. But nobody, no living governor, has had to experience as many crises as him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Davis, who still believes Newsom has \u201cdone a remarkable job,\u201d said that he expects Newsom to focus on COVID-19 vaccine promotion in coming months because it can \u201cgive people the sense that this pandemic is eventually going to end.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cHe\u2019s totally transparent. He explains why he\u2019s going to do something. He tells you whether it was accomplished and, if not, why not. And I think there\u2019s an endearing quality about him that voters like,\u201d said Davis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/california-to-outsource-vaccine-distribution-amidst-poor-rollout\">California To Outsource Vaccine Distribution Amidst Poor\u00a0Rollout<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/utter-nonsense-newsom-bristles-that-ending-stay-at-home-order-amid-recall-effort-was-not-political\">\u2018Utter Nonsense\u2019: Newsom Bristles That Ending Stay-At-Home Order Amid Recall Effort Was Not\u00a0Political<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
