The Newsom recall proponents announced they had gathered enough ballots this week and, according to new reports, California is going to spend upwards of $400 million to run the election to give Caitlyn Jenner her shot at governor.
The Republican backed effort will certainly bring in the clowns, some might be entertaining, with everyone getting their 15 minutes of fame courtesy California taxpayers.
Get ready for the line of weirdos, porn stars, freaks, and reality show losers that will appear to run for governor.
And it’s wrong, these are the same Republicans who always chant wait until the next election and let the voters decide, yet they’re the ones who backed to recall.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) â The California Legislature approved a major tax break for small businesses on Monday, voting to give up as much as $6.8 billion in revenue over the next six years so that struggling business owners can have smaller bills.
The federal government loaned more than $97 billion to California small businesses during the coronavirus pandemic, and most business owners did not have to pay that money back. Business owners used most of that money to pay the salaries of their employees, which prevented â or at least delayed â layoffs during the pandemic.
In December, Congress said business owners could deduct expenses associated with those loans from their federal taxes. The bill that passed the California Legislature on Monday would let business owners deduct those expenses from their state taxes, too.
