gavin newsom is fighting to keep his job. dan america has been following this for us. so what is the latest now one week out? reporter: you re absolutely right. this is a turnout election for the governor. he s a democrat in a state that is overwhelmingly democratic, two to one voter advantage so it is less about convincing people who voted for him just a few years ago, to do so again. it is about getting them out. this a summer election, this is an off year election. it is not in a typical month that elections are held as well. so that was a struggle for the democrats here. and they hope that recent polling shows that they ve over come that. but for republicans they argue that anger at newsom, about covid and the economy and about drought is enough to overcome that registration advantage. now newsom is pushing back on that saying he s a popular governor and that if his voters turn out he will win. but he s also trying to nationalize this race.
