California Republicans opted on Aug. 7 not to endorse a candidate in the recall election that could remove Gov. Gavin Newsom from office.

In the same special election, scheduled for Sept. 14, voters will choose who they would want to replace Newsom, who is a Democrat, if he’s recalled by a simple majority.
