The campaign to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom has bypassed the number of raw signatures needed to initiate a special election, according to a campaign manager behind the effort.

Rescue California—one of the groups behind putting the recall election on the ballot—has received more than 1.5 million signatures, Anne Hyde Dunsmore told The Epoch Times.
