Sanders Ad: Stop the Republican Recall
Sen. Bernie Sanders is taking aim at the effort to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom of California as "a bold-faced Republican power grab" in a new TV commercial and digital ad supporting the embattled Democratic governor.
The running of the statewide spot comes with just 15 days to go until California’s Sept. 14 recall election, with the latest public opinion polls suggesting that those likely to cast ballots are divided on whether to recall Newsom.
"At this unprecedented moment in American history, when we’re trying to address the crisis of climate change, guarantee health care for all, and pass real immigration reform, the last thing we need is to have some right-wing Republican governor in California," the longtime senator from Vermont says in the spot, speaking directly to camera.
"The Sept. 14 recall of Gov. Newsom is a bold-faced Republican power grab," Sanders charges in the ad. "Don't let it happen. Please, return your ballot or vote no in person by Sept. 14."
