California Gov. Gavin Newsom has responded to a recall campaign against him after avoiding the subject for months.

During a radio interview with KQED on March 12, he said the recall has more to do with his political opponents than with his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. His opponents have more concern with his broad progressive agenda, he said.
