A pair of Republican officials warned that selecting one candidate to endorse could make it less likely that voters recall Gov. Gavin Newsom because “the CAGOP tipping the scale may deter some voters.”
OAKLAND — The California Republican Party has elected not to endorse any of the candidates running to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom in the upcoming recall election, prioritizing unity over a potentially divisive selection.
The Democratic governor is still favored to defeat the recall based on recent polls, but the race remains close and turnout is hard to predict. Republicans are energized to oust Newsom and participate in high numbers, while Democrats and independents appear to be less motivated so far. That gives Republicans a chance in this blue state if Newsom supporters fail to participate.
“The California Republican Party should unite towards the sole goal of driving support for this historic recall,” Faulconer wrote in an email to supporters hours before the vote. “Ever since the close of candidate filing, it has become clear an endorsement of one candidate over another would only distract from that goal.”
