Black Jesus to the rescue

OAKLAND — Former President Barack Obama will appear in a statewide ad urging Californians to reject the recall of Gov. Gavin Newsom in the final days of the campaign.

The spot launching Thursday underscores Newsom's strategy of enlisting national Democrats to help boost liberal turnout before voting ends Tuesday. While Democrats vastly outnumber Republicans in California, polls have shown GOP voters are more eager to vote.

Obama's star turn comes after Vice President Kamala Harris and Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) made campaign stops in California. President Joe Biden is expected to stump for Newsom early next week.
