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."

Senator Sanders........Thank you, thank you for fighting for Gov. Newsom........I am in Minnesota and I am so sick and tired of this republican nonsense........they have plenty of worthless politicians as republican governors, etc. This new breed of republicans are rotten to the core. I wish our citizens would vote them out of office. Makes one wonder if a lot of our citizens are just like them.They vote against everything that will actually help mankind i.e. human rights, voting rights, climate changes, and I could go on an on. If it benefits mankind, they are against it. That is so sad!!

If a governor dies or resigns the Lt Gov is the new Governor
If the Gov is recalled the replacement is chosen from the people who voted yes?
It should be the same as resigning

but I do genuinely appreciate that he has been putting in the work to support Biden's agenda.

This is how it's done.
