California Governor Gavin Newsom Refuses To Address Recall Effort, Called “California Coup,” During Press Conference
California Governor Gavin Newsom flew down to Los Angeles on Friday for the opening of a mass vaccination site at Dodger Stadium. Before Newsom stepped to the podium, L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti introduced him as “not just California’s governor, but America’s governor.”
During the press conference on the field, Newsom was asked twice about the ongoing effort to recall him, which has garnered over 1 million of the approximately 1.5 million signatures required.
“I’m focused on the vaccine issue,” replied Newsom. “That’s my focus. That’s why I’m here.”
Questioned about California Democratic Party Chairman Rusty Hicks on Tuesday characterizing the recall effort “the California coup,” Newsom declined to engage.
