White (@JeremyBWhite) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JeremyBWhite\/status\/1423645877499940866?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 6, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe numbers announced by my campaign today solidify my candidacy to defeat Gavin Newsom in the upcoming recall election,\u201d said Elder in a statement issued on Thursday. \u201cCalifornians have shown up and believe in our mission to recall Newsom and elect me in his place. Newsom can raise an unlimited amount of funds for this election; therefore, every single donation to my campaign counts, whether small or large.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More details from Politico:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"28\">\n<p><em>The highest-raising Republican contenders registered hauls in the low millions, while Newsom has raised at least $45 million since the start of 2021. All told, Republicans have cumulatively raised a fraction of Newsom\u2019s stash, which has allowed the governor to dominate the airwaves this summer and puts him in position to continue running ads statewide in the roughly five weeks left before the Sept. 14 election\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Elder provided a copy of his statement showing topline numbers, but his campaign said his forms aren\u2019t on the California secretary of state\u2019s website because the system was clogged at Thursday night\u2019s deadline. Likewise, Newsom\u2019s forms weren\u2019t showing up accurately as of Friday morning\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Newsom enjoys a singular edge over his GOP rivals: campaign finance rules allow the incumbent governor to raise unlimited sums of money because state law treats the question of whether to oust Newsom as a ballot issue rather than a candidate race. That has allowed Newsom to lap the Republican field, drawing on a panoply of deep-pocketed backers across the worlds of organized labor, Hollywood, tech, agriculture, Native American casinos, and real estate.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The recall ballot will contain two questions. First, voters will decide whether Newsom should be recalled. The second question asks who should replace Newsom if he is recalled.<\/p>\n<p>The latest Emerson College and Nexstar Media \u201cInside California Politics\u201d poll released on Tuesday found \u201cvoters remain split, with 46% in favor and 48% against the recall of Gov. Newsom. Six percent of likely voters are still undecided.\u201d The poll\u2019s margin of error is plus or minus three percentage points.<\/p>\n<p>Elder leads the list of more than 40 candidates on the ballot to replace Newsom with 23% support, up seven percentage points since the previous survey last month. However, pollsters emphasized that 40% of respondents were unsure which candidate they would choose.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"6.5126353790614\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">California Poll with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kron4news?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@kron4news<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FOX40?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@FOX40<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KSEE24?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@KSEE24<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KGETnews?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@KGETnews<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KTLA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@KTLA<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/fox5sandiego?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@fox5sandiego<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Which candidate would you vote for to replace Governor Gavin Newsom if he is recalled? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZygJ92SeSi\">https:\/\/t.co\/ZygJ92SeSi<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2lFexpxXRi\">pic.twitter.com\/2lFexpxXRi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Emerson College Polling (@EmersonPolling) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EmersonPolling\/status\/1422543272245858305?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 3, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The poll found the other top contenders, all Republicans, were all in the single digits.
