‘Gutfeld!’ panel discusses the issues that face the Golden State<\/p>\n
Vice President Kamala Harris will campaign for California Gov. Gavin Newsom next week as his recall election looms two weeks away. <\/p>\n
“Yes,” Harris told<\/u> the San Francisco Chronicle Wednesday when asked if she would travel to her home state to campaign for Newsome, a longtime political ally of hers.<\/p>\n
Harris had been set to campaign for Newsom last month but the rally was cancelled following a terrorist suicide bombing in Afghanistan that killed 13 U.S. service members. <\/p>\n
Most public opinion polls conducted in July and August indicated that likely voters were divided on whether to recall Newsom. But a new survey taken Aug. 20-29 by the Public Policy Institute of California <\/u>and released late Wednesday indicates that only 38% of likely voters support removing Newsom, with 58% saying they\u2019d vote no on the first question on the ballot.<\/p>\n
Roughly half of likely voters (49%) said they either have not decided or would not vote for any of the 46 replacement candidates on the recall ballot. Among the other half, who expressed a preference for a replacement candidate, conservative talk radio host Larry Elder was in the lead with 26% support. Five percent backed Republican Kevin Faulconer, a former two-term mayor of San Diego. Three percent supported both 2018 GOP gubernatorial nominee and businessman John Cox and state lawmaker Kevin Kiley, with 1976 Olympic gold-medal-winning decathlete turned transgender rights activist and nationally known TV personality Caitlyn Jenner<\/u> at just 1%.<\/p>\n
Democrats have recently ramped up attacks<\/u> on Elder, attempting to link his candidacy to former President Trump. <\/p>\n
Newsom slammed Elder in a fundraising email last month, saying that Elder and Trump<\/u> are one and the same. <\/p>\n
“If this guy is governor during delta it would lead to extraordinary suffering,” Newsom claimed in the email. “His anti-science approach would move our planet backward in the race against a changing climate. He would be a disaster for California.”<\/p>\n
The email also referred to Elder as “Larry Trump.”<\/p>\n
