President Joe Biden Supports California Gov. Gavin Newsom in Recall Elections

Joe Biden tweeted an appeal to Californians to reject the recall vote that would remove Gavin Newsom from office.

"Governor Gavin Newsom is leading California through unprecedented crises," the president said, adding that Newsom was a "key partner" in fighting the pandemic. 

Biden also emphasized that the California governor helped in the recovery of the nation's economy following the distress caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

The president then ended his statement by urging the California voters to vote "no" in the recall elections, saying that doing so would keep the state moving forward.

Besides Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris also reportedly supports the California governor in the upcoming gubernatorial recall elections. An official from the White House said that Kamala Harris, a former Democratic senator from the state, suggested that the two U.S. top officials could hold an "in-person campaign" to support Newsom.

Los Angeles Times reported that the vice president also criticized the recall election issued against Newsom. Meanwhile, White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Wednesday touted the works of the Biden administration with the California governor.

She said the administration looks forward to continuing the partnership with Newsom. Although the president expressed his support with Gavin Newsom, Psaki noted that Biden does not plan to get specifically involved in the race. 

"He [Biden] supports him... I don't have anything in terms of additional steps to preview for you," Psaki said.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom to Campaign as Recall Elections Nears

Gavin Newsom would soon engage in a tour around the state to urge the voters to vote no. The "VOTE NO" weekend campaign by Newsom would begin in San Francisco by Friday morning. Newsom's office released a statement on Thursday revealing that the campaign would last for four days across the cities of California.

The statement further noted that Newsom would "rally voters and volunteers" to prevent Republicans from being the state's next governor. Gubernatorial candidate, Larry Elder, was also mentioned in the statement, labeling him as a "Trump disciple."

It can be recalled that apart from Larry Elder, other gubernatorial candidates such as Caitlyn Jenner, Representative Doug Ose, John Cox, and former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer were also among those who hope to take Newsom's office. The second recall election in California history will be on September 14.
