SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) California Republicans accused Democrats of acting unfairly Monday as the state Assembly passed a bill aimed at moving up Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom’s recall date.
“The conclusion is inescapable that Gavin Newsom is cheating in the recall and this Legislature is his willing accomplice,” said Republican Assemblyman Kevin Kiley, who is considering running in the contest.
The proposal easily passed, 53 to 18, and now heads to the state Senate. It would allow the recall to proceed at least 30 days earlier than under existing state law. Democrats hope to take advantage of what they view as favorable conditions for Newsom as the state moves on from the worst days of the pandemic and related restrictions.
