When the AP estimated that 60% of ballots had been counted, it projected the \u201cno\u201d vote opposing Newsom\u2019s recall led with 66.79% (5,428,113 votes), while 33.21% (2,718,614) wanted the governor to go.<\/p>\n<p>The certified count is not expected until October 22.<\/p>\n<p>Ballots were sent to all of California\u2019s 22 million registered voters, who were asked two questions. First, voters were asked if Newsom shall be recalled. Then, the second question asked who should replace Newsom if he were to be recalled.<\/p>\n<p>Leading Republican candidate Larry Elder, a conservative radio host, had the most votes among Newsom\u2019s potential replacements early on, when Newsom briefly reacted to the projections predicting his victory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2019No\u2019 is not the only thing that was expressed tonight,\u201d Newsom told reporters on Tuesday night. \u201cI want to focus on what we said \u2018yes\u2019 to as a state. We said \u2018yes\u2019 to science, we said \u2018yes\u2019 to vaccines, we said \u2018yes\u2019 to ending this pandemic. We said \u2018yes\u2019 to people\u2019s right to vote without fear of fake fraud or voter suppression. We said \u2018yes\u2019 to women\u2019s fundamental constitutional right to decide for herself what she does with her body and her fate and future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Elder said the election attracted the attention of national Democrats and their donors who were focused on preventing the GOP from taking control of the U.S. Senate. California\u2019s senior Democratic senator, Dianne Feinstein, is 88-year-old. 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 campaigned with Newsom last week, and President Joe Biden appeared at a rally on Monday to stump for him. In addition, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat from Massachusetts, appeared in a television spot produced by Newsom\u2019s anti-recall committee and also joined the governor on the campaign trail.<\/p>\n<p>Newsom launched his committee, called \u201cStop the Republican Recall,\u201d in March. It was supported by several deep-pocketed Democratic donors, including Netflix co-CEO Reed Hastings, New York-based billionaire philanthropist George Soros, and organized labor. The group <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/oJoJdC2HW0Q\">launched an ad<\/a> &nbsp;in the final stretch that inundated California airwaves and branded Newsom\u2019s GOP opponents, particularly Elder, as \u201canti-vax\u201d MAGA enthusiasts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere\u2019s what you need to know about the September 14<sup>th<\/sup> recall,\u201d the ad said. \u201cVoting yes elects an anti-vaccine Trump Republican.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/business-health-coronavirus-pandemic-b6049fa972077f6baa2d0c9d3278debd\">According<\/a> to The Associated Press, Newsom was \u201ctaking liberties with broad-brush strokes that distort his opponents\u2019 positions.\u201d All of Newsom\u2019s leading Republican opponents had made clear they had been vaccinated but were against government orders forcing people to get the shots. Elder had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/larry-elder-says-hell-suspend-statewide-vax-and-mask-mandates-if-elected-ca-gov-vows-to-fight-local-orders\">vowed<\/a> to suspend statewide vaccination and mask mandates and promised to fight local orders.<\/p>\n<p>Under state rules, Newsom\u2019s committee had no donation limits. The Los Angeles Times <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/projects\/california-recall-election-money-newsom-vs-jenner-cox\/\">reported<\/a> that \u201canti-recall forces\u201d supporting Newsom raised at least $82 million.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"10.525568181818\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The campaign to keep Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom in power has raised at least $82 million \u2014 more than 6 times what the leading GOP candidate, Larry Elder, has raised. Newsom raised $40 million more than all the anti-recall candidates combined.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/22zkmVztqg\">https:\/\/t.co\/22zkmVztqg<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/12ttMTW5Hw\">pic.twitter.com\/12ttMTW5Hw<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ggreenwald\/status\/1437567043683950599?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 14, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>However, contributions to individual candidates running to replace Newsom were capped at $32,400 per donor.
