Gavin Newsom will not be listed as a Democrat in upcoming California recall vote

A Sacramento County judge on Monday denied Gov. Gavin Newsom’s request to be listed as a Democrat in the state’s upcoming recall election after his office missed a deadline.

Representatives for Newsom said it was an "inadvertent but good faith mistake." In the ruling issued on Monday, Judge James P. Arguelles denied Newsom’s request and noted that circumstances did not justify excuse from the deadline. A spokesperson for Newsom’s office did not immediately return Fox News’ request for comment.
