Recall organizers say they have collected more than half the nearly 1.5 million petition signatures needed to place the recall on the ballot, and they have until mid-March to hit the required threshold.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has had a rough year. The next one might be even tougher as a recall effort appears to be gaining momentum, fueled partly by outrage over the first-term Democrat dining with friends at an opulent restaurant while telling state residents to spurn social gatherings and stay home.
...
Newsom received high praise for his aggressive approach to the coronavirus last spring, when he issued the nations first statewide stay-at-home order. Now there is growing public angst over subsequent health orders that have shuttered schools and businesses and a massive unemployment benefits fraud scandal, while a public shaming continues for his ill-advised dinner at the French Laundry in Napa Valley, an establishment that features a white truffle and caviar dinner for $1,200 per person.

Photos of the dinner a birthday party for a Newsom confidante who also is a lobbyist emerged showing the governor without a mask at a time when he was imploring people not to socialize with friends and wear a face covering when going out and around others.

Last time a governor was recalled we ended up getting Arnold Schwarzenegger as governor. What celebrity might we get this time?

People have been trying to recall Newsom since he was elected. It won't happen, and if it did, he wouldn't be recalled. He's done some stupid stuff but the people behind this are just angry conservatives upset about masks.

He deserves it.

Also, it bothers me that he smiles in between words. It's creepy. Like serial killer weird.

This. Besides, the state will not elect a Republican in response, which is what these recall guys are hoping for.

Doesn't really seem all that newsworthy that they have less than 3 months to get about 700,000~ signatures. Especially when there is a non-zero chance that something like 70% of the existing signatures might be fraudulent, since that always seems to happen with these types.

Yes, a majority Democrat state is going to vote for a Republican governor because a few rednecks are having a hissy fit.

They tried this in Wisconsin.

Turned out the organizers lied about how many signatures they had and sold the names they had collected to ad agencies lol.

Massachusetts has a Republican governor and never votes red

You can bet he was hoping to turn his early covid response into something presidential in the future but he really shot himself in the foot with this one.
