California s top Democrats and activities have expressed their support towards Governor Gavin Newsom as he faces recall in the state. The Democrats expressed their support for California s governor on their annual convention on Saturday, Associated Press reported.
The convention was held virtually which made it more muted than the previous conventions held by the Democrats. Democratic high officials also addressed the event through pre-recorded videos. Usually, the said convention would bring democratic activists together for days to discuss different agendas such as policy discussions.

“That s nothing,” said Joe Holland, the Santa Barbara County registrar of voters who said the first election he oversaw was the 2003 recall election of former Gov. Gray Davis. “The cost of putting on a statewide recall pretty much falls to the counties.”
Across the state, counties are preparing their budgets for the next fiscal year that begins July 1, and many are just now beginning to discuss what it would cost to put on a statewide recall election if it qualifies.
Supporters must have about 1.5 million signatures by March 17 to qualify for the ballot. Organizers say they already have collected more than that, but it s unclear how many of those signatures will be valid. Republicans, meanwhile, are pouring cash into the effort as the signature-gathering deadline approaches.
