New recall effort targets Gov. Newsom, citing California’s rising costs, policies

A newly formed coalition has announced it intends to initiate a recall for California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom. The group, Saving California, cites the state’s rising taxes, cost of living, ineffective emergency responses and population decline as reasons for the recall.

Newsom accused President Donald Trump of spreading misinformation about California’s water struggles, stating there is no quick fix, as he mentioned to reporters.

Despite past recall efforts failing, Newsom’s possible new recall comes at a time of dissatisfaction with Democratic leadership amid ongoing crises, according to political analysis.
