Voters decide whether they want to remove the sitting governor and then on the same ballot choose a replacement.<\/p>\n<p>The state has not yet formally approved the recall or set a date for an election. Under California law, officials have until Thursday to provide a final count of valid signatures. Voters will then be allowed an additional 30 days to remove their approval if they change their minds.<\/p>\n<p>But as of Monday, backers of the petition to remove Newsom, a cause celebre among Republicans nationwide, had submitted 1.6 million valid signatures demanding a recall election, the Secretary of State&#8217;s office said.<\/p>\n<p>Rescue California, one of the political action committees supporting the recall, had raised $2.2 million as of Monday, including $100,000 from an independent oil company and $500,000 from Prov 3:9 LLC, a consulting firm. The California Republican party has contributed about $186,000.<\/p>\n<p>Newsom, a former lieutenant governor and San Francisco mayor, was elected governor in 2018 with almost 62% of the vote. He would be up for re-election in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>The recall effort targeting Newsom began in February 2020, led by a group called the California Patriot Coalition that opposed Newsom&#8217;s liberal politics.<\/p>\n<p>The campaign has picked up steam amid frustration with the state&#8217;s COVID-19 vaccine rollout, closed schools and changing public health rules.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Republican-led effort to recall California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom has garnered enough valid signatures to make the ballot, state election officials said on Monday.
