The Democratic governor has, for months, characterized the recall targeting his office as an effort driven by Trump supporters.
behind the recall as a"coalition of national Republicans, anti-vaxxers, Q-Anon conspiracy theorists and anti-immigrant Trump supporters," characterizations those behind the recall petition have disputed.
As the recall election drew closer, Newsom's campaign continued drawing comparisons between recall supporters and former President, a strategy that intensified following the campaign launch of conservative radio host Larry Elder.
Newsom is only the second governor in the state's history to face a recall election, and he's the first to defeat one. Eighteen years ago, Democrat Gray Davis was first to battle a recall election and was ultimately removed from office. Davis was replaced by Arnold Schwarzenegger, who ran as a Republican and received more votes than any of the other 134 candidates who appeared on that recall ballot.
Governor Gavin Newsom is projected to defeat the California gubernatorial recall election and stay in office for the remainder of his term.

and several high-profile Democrats from around the country quickly rallied to Newsom's side to motivate voters and encourage turnout, all while reiterating the Newsom campaign's portrayal of the recall effort as one driven by far-right conservatives.
