A campaign seeking to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom is picking up pace in Orange County, California, and statewide. In the past few weeks, prominent Republicans in the county have endorsed the recall campaign, citing concerns about increased lockdown measures hurting the livelihoods of Californians.
The petition to start the recall process, run by the political action committee Rescue California, was granted an extension by a judge on Nov. 6, giving it until March 17, 2021, to gather the minimum 1,495,709 signatures needed. It currently has over 700,000.
