One of the candidates, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/john-cox-2018-newsom-opponent-says-hell-run-again-if-recall-effort-succeeds\">John Cox<\/a>, is Newsom\u2019s 2018 Republican gubernatorial opponent, who has said the problems he ran to fix in 2018 have only gotten worse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe state is in crisis,\u201d Cox told&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kron4.com\/news\/politics\/inside-california-politics\/exclusive-interview-john-cox-on-effort-to-recall-newsom\/amp\/\">Inside California Politics<\/a> in an interview. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of the things I talked about during the run in 2018. Housing and homelessness are worse, but now we have the pandemic and the mismanagement that\u2019s gone on during this whole thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\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 added Cox.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin Faulconer, the former Republican mayor of San Diego, has also declared himself as a candidate, and has been endorsed by a majority of the Republican lawmakers in both the California assembly and the California senate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cParents across California are fed up, and they are demanding that their kids be back in school. This is a movement to decide whether we stay in the past, with Governor Newsom\u2019s one-party rule, or we embrace a new future,\u201d said Faulconer in his announcement speech.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are going to decrease homelessness, not condone it. We\u2019re going to support your job, not destroy it. We\u2019re going to let you keep more of what you earn, not tax it. We\u2019re going to lead the California comeback,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><span>On the other hand, California Lieutenant Governor Eleni Koulanakis (D), the highest-ranking executive in Newsom\u2019s chain of command, has issued an apparent warning shot directed toward Democrats who may be considering a Newsom challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cGovernor Newsom does not deserve to be recalled. And I think it would be shameful for any Democrat to put their name on the ballot to replace them, myself included,\u201d Kounalakis told Fox News in a statement. \u201cThe focus of the Governor, and everyone in elected office right now, should be on vaccinations, getting kids back to school, and people back to work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Only two governors in U.S. history have ever been recalled: Lynn Frazier, the former governor of North Dakota, was recalled in 1921, and Gray Davis, the former governor of California, was recalled in 2003.<\/p>\n<p>Davis, who was succeeded by Arnold Schwarzenegger, believes Newsom has been dealt a poor hand, politically speaking. However, he also doesn\u2019t think that the recall effort will ultimately succeed, even if it makes it to the ballot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no charismatic leader,\u201d Davis told Spectrum News 1 in a recent interview. \u201cThere\u2019s no Arnold Schwarzenegger.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Back in 2003, Davis faced off against dozens and dozens of opponents, including his own Democratic lieutenant governor. Voters ultimately recalled Davis by a margin of more than 10 points. Schwarzenegger received 48% of the vote, Davis\u2019 lieutenant governor received 31%, and then-State Senator Tom McClintock won 13% of the vote. Larry Flint, the late publisher of Hustler Magazine, another Democratic candidate, placed seventh and received the second-most votes of any other Democrat in the race.<\/p>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
