California Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom The Republican National Committee (RNC) is about to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to assist in the effort to recall California Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom. According to
Politico, the RNC will donate $250,000 to the recall effort. Together with the California Republican Party, the RNC will also invest in text banking and a digital effort to encourage voters to sign the petition and drive voter turnout for the recall.
RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel told
Politico in a statement Thursday, Governor Newsom s authoritarian measures, blatant overreach and complete mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic have proven that he is woefully unqualified to lead the state of California. It is time the people use their constitutional recourse to remove him from power.
FRESNO, Calif. Gov. Gavin Newsom said the state would begin converting some of its COVID-19 testing sites that were created in partnership with OptumServe into vaccine distribution sites. The first of those centers would be in Central California. We have 20 of (the sites) throughout the state of California. They ve been doing a lot of testing on the basis of equity in the first OptumServe site. Now for vaccinations will be at your city college in the next few days, Newsom said.
The governor said the site at Reedley College would be able to administer around 400 doses per day.
While additional vaccines of any kind are needed, it s discouraging news for Central California, where lawmakers have been pushing for more doses from the federal government and had hoped for a mass vaccination center. The area, like much of the state, has faced vaccine shortages.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom was repeatedly interrupted during a Wednesday press conference with chants of “Recall Newsom!” clearly audibly in the background.
