The chamber is equally divided between the two parties with Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris as the tie-breaking vote.<\/p>\n<p>VP Harris is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/09\/04\/politics\/kamala-harris-gavin-newsom-california-recall\/index.html\">expected<\/a> to campaign with Newsom in the Bay Area on Wednesday. The governor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/states\/california\/story\/2021\/09\/02\/newsom-biden-still-coming-to-california-to-fight-recall-1390690\">said<\/a> earlier this week that President Joe Biden \u201cwill be out here soon\u201d to stump for him. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) was featured on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/watch-senator-warren-blames-trump-republicans-in-ad-for-newsom\">television ad<\/a> to \u201cstop the Republican recall.\u201d A columnist for the left-leaning Los Angeles Times recently \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/california\/story\/2021-08-20\/recall-candidate-larry-elder-is-a-threat-to-black-californians\">warned<\/a>\u201d readers that \u201cLarry Elder is the Black face of white supremacy.\u201d And Newsom\u2019s political action committee has received big bucks from billionaire Democratic megadonors like Netflix co-CEO <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/netflixs-reed-hastings-gives-3-million-to-a-fund-opposing-newsom-recall\">Reed Hastings<\/a>, New York-based progressive philanthropist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/george-soros-donations-to-fight-newsom-recall-hit-1-million\">George Soros<\/a>, and organized labor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll of these people are scared to death about one big thing,\u201d said Elder. \u201cThey couldn\u2019t care less about Gavin Newsom. They care about the 50-50 split in the Senate in Washington D.C.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Elder went on to single out California\u2019s senior senator, Dianne Feinstein, who, at 88-years-old, is the eldest member of the U.S. Senate. The New Yorker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/news\/news-desk\/dianne-feinsteins-missteps-raise-a-painful-age-question-among-senate-democrats\">published<\/a> an article in December that addressed \u201crumors of her cognitive decline,\u201d citing sources who claimed \u201cher short-term memory has grown so poor that she often forgets she has been briefed on a topic.\u201d Feinstein won\u2019t be up for re-election until 2024, would be 91 if re-elected, and 97 if she served out that full six-year term.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGod forbid Governor Elder should replace Dianne Feinstein, that nobody has seen in weeks, and I\u2019m told that she\u2019s in worse mental condition than Joe Biden,\u201d Elder told Levin on Friday. \u201cThey are afraid that I\u2019m going to replace her with a Republican, which I most certainly would do. And that would be an earthquake in Washington, D.C.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Partial transcript as follows:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"19\">\n<p><em>LEVIN: Wow. I hadn\u2019t thought about that. And I haven\u2019t thought about the fact that we haven\u2019t seen her either.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>ELDER: No.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>LEVIN: And I\u2019m sure the media that are trying to destroy you are busy trying to find her, right?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>ELDER: Oh sure, just like they\u2019re trying to find Hunter Biden. They\u2019re scared to death that a blue state like California, God forbid that they should elect a common-sense, conservative Republican who makes an appreciable difference in their lives. They don\u2019t want me to improve the situation. They don\u2019t want me to bring down the cost of living. They don\u2019t want me to do something about homelessness. They don\u2019t want me to give people in the inner-city a choice so that they can get a competent education for their kids. God forbid I should make things better, and then all of the sudden people will rethink their attitude toward Republicans and rethink their attitude toward Democrats, and that\u2019s why they\u2019re so scared.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Elder\u2019s campaign says it has raised more than $13 million since he declared his candidacy on July 12, 2021. Contributions to individual candidates are capped at $32,400 per election.<\/p>\n<p>However, Newsom\u2019s anti-recall committee has no donation limits under state rules.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/campaign\/570250-democrats-unions-pour-cash-into-california-recall-fight\">According<\/a> to The Hill, \u201cNewsom\u2019s campaign had raised $46 million through the end of July, and recent filings with the secretary of state\u2019s office show it has raised at least another $17 million this month.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The September 14 ballot will ask California voters two questions. First, voters will decide whether Newsom should be recalled. Then, the second question asks who should replace Newsom if he is recalled. If more than 50% choose to recall Newsom on question one, then the top vote-getter on the second question would become the new governor.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ppic.org\/publication\/ppic-statewide-survey-californians-and-their-government-september-2021\/\">latest poll<\/a> by the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California released on Thursday shows 58% of likely voters oppose recalling Newsom, while 39% support ousting him from office.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
