Gray Davis, Recalled California Governor, Believes Gavin Newsom Will Win Re-Election in 2022
On 1/29/21 at 1:36 PM EST
A recall effort is mounting against California Governor Gavin Newsom amid criticism of his handling of the coronavirus pandemic—with petitioners having until March 17 to gather the 300,000 additional signatures to meet the 1.5 million threshold to trigger a contest.
But despite such outcry, Newsom still has a 58 percent approval rating, according to the most recent polling. Meanwhile, vaccine distribution could renew hope in Californians after a devastating year. Thus, high favorability and a looming turning point in the pandemic bodes well for Newsom, according to former California Governor Gray Davis, who was recalled in 2003.
