California governor mounts aggressive effort to combat recall campaign
CNN
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has embarked on an aggressive new effort to push back against the well-funded recall effort against him, arguing that the campaign is being driven by allies of former President Donald Trump, who is deeply unpopular in California.
Newsom acknowledged in an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper on "The Lead" Tuesday that he is worried about the recall and expects it to qualify. "All you need is about a quarter of the people that voted for Donald Trump to get this recall petition to the voters this November, so I'm anticipating it goes on (the ballot). We're taking it very seriously," Newsom told Tapper.President Joe Biden warned against a streak of “semi-isolationism” in the US as he stressed the importance of alliances during a symbolic visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery on Sunday, honoring the thousands of Americans who died in World War I at a site former President Donald Trump skipped during a 2018 visit to Paris.
Looking to shore up Latino votes in Nevada and Arizona for his reelection campaign, President Joe Biden is on the verge of soon following up last week’s executive action aimed at curbing border crossings with another move focused on providing legal status for long-term undocumented immigrants married to American citizens and without criminal records.
