In California, the effort to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom is getting very close to the point of forcing a vote:
NEW: The petition to recall California Gov. Gavin Newsom currently has 1.4 million signatures of the 1.5 million needed by March 17 to force a recall election.

The heat is being felt all the way to the White House, which felt the need to make sure everybody knows President Biden supports Newsom:
In addition to sharing a commitment to a range of issues with @GavinNewsom from addressing the climate crisis to getting the pandemic under control, @POTUS clearly opposes any effort to recall @GavinNewsom

Why not just let the people of California handle things?

What would the headline be if this were the Trump administration weighing in on an effort to recall a Republican governor?
“The President opposes the democratic process and the rights of voters to remove ineffective governance.”
